Risk

Risk is a constant theme in economics. On this week’s episode we look at the debt risk facing middle-income countries. Host Carmel Crimmins is joined by Karin Strohecker, chief correspondent for emerging markets, for a discussion on the dangers posed by faltering economies and punishing austerity measures. Plus, we hear from Kenya where nationwide protests sparked by tax proposals have created the biggest crisis of President William Ruto’s two-year presidency.
