Why A Common Standard Is More Important Than A Common Technology
In this FinextraTV interview at the 2025 EBAday in Paris, Tsvetanka Nankova, Managing Director, Global Head of Sales Institutional Cash & Trade Finance, Deutsche Bank visited the studio to discuss the future of data. Comparing the popularity of data conversations to those of AI, Nankova emphasises the importance of not taking data at 'face value' and instead interrogating its origins, compliance, accuracy, and relevance. On top of this, she explains the two-fold benefit of regulation like ISO 20022, explaining how a shared standard should be prioritised over a shared technology.

UK invests $340 million in clean tech for air travel
PARIS, June 17 (Reuters) - Britain said it would invest 250 million pounds ($340 million) in technology to make air travel greener, backing research into zero-emission flying, laser-beam manufacturing and cutting aircraft drag, to help boost the country's aerospace industry. Britain said the funding for research and development projects led by Airbus ( opens new tab, Rolls-Royce (RR.L), opens new tab and a number of smaller companies and academic partnerships, would attract more private investment into the sector and add new jobs. Industry Minister Sarah Jones is due to announce the new funding at the Paris Airshow on Tuesday, backing a number of projects which include the development of infrastructure for testing liquid hydrogen systems, fuel cell systems and developing lightweight materials. The funding announcement came ahead of the government's industrial strategy, expected to be published later this month, and which will aim to help grow the country's defence and advanced manufacturing sectors. Jones said supporting the major contractors was "incredibly important", but the government also wanted to encourage more start-ups in the sector. "Getting the supply chain of smaller businesses ready is the challenge, and that's what we want to build up in the UK," she said in an interview. Airbus UK chairman John Harrison said the funding gave the industry the confidence and stability needed to fuel innovation. "It's initiatives like these that are absolutely critical to accelerating our decarbonisation journey and advancing sustainable, cutting-edge manufacturing," he said. ($1 = 0.7351 pounds)

Willingness to switch to EVs fades faster in Europe than US, Shell survey shows
LONDON, June 17 (Reuters) - Drivers are becoming more reluctant to switch to electric vehicles from combustion engines and the trend is more pronounced in Europe than in the United States, a survey published by Shell (SHEL.L), opens new tab on Tuesday showed. The main obstacle is cost, according to the survey of 15,000 drivers across the world, including Britain, China, Germany and the United States. "Europe surprised us," said David Bunch, Shell's chief for mobility and convenience. "The single biggest barrier to entry is the cost of the vehicle. Range anxiety is still there but it's diminishing." Electric vehicles are on average up to 30% more expensive than internal combustion engine cars. This year, 41% of respondents in Europe said they would consider switching to an electric car compared with 48% last year, while in the United States the number fell three percentage points to 31%, the survey showed. In terms of the pace at which the charging experience is improving, only about half of European drivers said public charging had improved in the last year, below China's 74% and 80% in the United States. Only 17% of European drivers asked said public charging offered value for money, compared with 69% in China and 71% in the United States. Shell runs 75,000 charging points and focuses its EV strategy on fast, on-the-go charging points rather than home-charging. Its core EV markets are China, Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United States.

Gen-Z adults with a fitness regime ‘more likely to have a financial plan'
Gen-Z adults with a fitness routine are nearly twice as likely to have a financial plan as those who do not exercise, a survey has found. The survey commissioned by credit information company Experian indicated that, overall, young adults are switched on to their finances. The research among 18 to 25-year-olds found that more than nine in 10 (92%) of those who take steps to keep fit have a financial plan, as do just over half (54%) of those who do not exercise. Those who exercise regularly have £5,080 in savings on average, which is around double the amounts put away by those who do not exercise regularly (£2,511). 'Exercising regularly' was defined as those who said they exercised once a week or more. Experian partnered with endurance runner Russ Cook, also known as the Hardest Geezer, to urge young adults to put the same drive into money management as they do towards personal fitness goals. Mr Cook said: 'The mindset I use for my runs – discipline, small wins, getting up and doing it again – is the same one I use when thinking about money.' The survey also found that half (50%) of young adults feel 'traditional' financial goals, such as home ownership, are impossible. More than half (55%) of those surveyed said they are having to delay moving out of their family home. Nearly half (46%) of young adults said that being able to afford shorter-term ambitions such as holidays, travel and festivals is more important to them than long-term financial security. Around fifth (22%) are focused on staying out of debt, while nearly three in 10 (28%) want to save enough to take some time off work to travel, according to the survey among 2,000 people aged 18 to 25 across the UK carried out by Opinium in June. John Webb, credit expert at Experian, said: 'The link between physical and financial fitness is powerful, and through this campaign, we want to empower young people to apply the discipline they already show in their personal lives to their money, too.' Sebrina McCullough, director of external relations at Money Wellness, said: 'We see young people setting clear goals and tracking their progress. It's not about being perfect, it's about staying consistent. Just like training for a marathon, getting financially fit takes discipline, patience and self-belief. And Gen-Z are proving they've got all three.'
