A rising gold price can make almost every mining company look like a winner. But when the market turns, management quality becomes much harder to hide.

Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, Founder and CEO of Ubuntu Tribe, argues that investors should look beyond production growth, reserves and exposure to gold prices—and pay closer attention to capital allocation.

How companies reinvest cash, evaluate acquisitions, manage growth capital and return value to shareholders can reveal far more about long-term quality than headline production figures.

In the next phase of the gold market, disciplined capital decisions could separate the real winners from the rest.

AI is moving from experimentation to real-world application across private credit, but adoption alone does not guarantee value.

In his latest article, Kristian Wilson, Chief Operating & Technology Officer at Channel, explores whether AI will truly become a game-changer for private credit—and argues that the outcome will depend less on the technology itself than on trusted data, strong governance, human expertise and disciplined adoption.

From AI agents and automated workflows to investment decision support, the opportunity is significant. But firms that treat AI as a tool to deploy rather than a capability to build may struggle to turn innovation into sustainable advantage.

The winners may not be those adopting AI fastest, but those integrating it most effectively.

Cyber readiness cannot be measured by how well a financial institution can discuss a crisis. It must be demonstrated when the pressure is real.

In this article, Dan Potter of Immersive argues that financial institutions need to move beyond scripted tabletop exercises and adopt realistic, high-pressure cyber simulations that reveal how teams actually respond when systems, decisions and communication are tested simultaneously.

The question is no longer whether organisations have a cyber response plan, but whether they can execute it when it matters.

AI security protects the system. But who is governing the data flowing through it?

Rosemarie Connell, Senior Managing Director at Integrated Solutions, examines the growing governance challenge as AI becomes embedded across financial services.

With employees increasingly using AI in everyday workflows, organisations need greater visibility into what data enters AI systems, how it is processed, where it goes and how outputs are used.

The next stage of responsible AI will require governance that goes beyond security to ensure traceability, accountability and control over data in use.

The PwC AI scandal raises a bigger issue than AI hallucinations: accountability.

In his latest article, Seb Kirk, CEO and Co-Founder of GaiaLens, examines how weak incentives, inadequate oversight and governance gaps can allow AI-generated errors to pass through even sophisticated organisations.

The lesson extends well beyond PwC: responsible AI cannot depend on policies alone. Governance needs to be embedded into workflows, verification processes and clear lines of accountability.

With only 31% of European businesses reporting an AI strategy and 24% a responsible AI strategy, the article argues that organisations scaling AI successfully are treating governance and data practices as foundations for growth, rather than compliance exercises.

Sasha Rubel, Head of Public Policy for Generative AI at Amazon Web Services EMEA, explores what Europe needs to close its AI adoption gap and turn responsible governance into a competitive advantage.

Technology can transform how we negotiate—but it cannot replace the human foundation of a successful deal.

As AI and digital tools make negotiations faster and more data-driven, trust, credibility, relationships and human judgement remain critical to reaching agreements that last.

Tim Castle shares why the most effective negotiators must know where technology adds value—and where human connection still matters most.

Dubai has built a global reputation as a gold trading hub—but the full story is more complex.

Dr. Fahim Alshayea examines the realities behind the market narrative, exploring the economic, strategic and regulatory factors that shape Dubai’s position in the global gold industry.

As global markets become more interconnected, understanding what drives long-term value is becoming just as important as understanding market perception.

For the payments industry, knowing what software you use is no longer enough.

SBOMs improve visibility into software components and vulnerabilities—but true operational resilience requires understanding the wider dependencies and failure points that can disrupt payment services.

Artem Serebrov of PCA Cyber Security explores why providers must look beyond software inventories to assess how technology, third parties and interconnected systems can affect continuity.

As payments become increasingly interconnected, resilience must extend beyond individual systems to the wider ecosystem.
