Speaking to the Financial Times, the Dutch governor, whose term ends this month, said he couldn't rule out a further reduction but said that colleagues will need to judge how the trade war and energy prices impact the economy.

Mediobanca pledges to return $5.74 billion to investors to counter MPS bid
MILAN (Reuters) -Italian merchant bank Mediobanca said on Friday it would return 4.9 billion euros ($5.74 billion) to shareholders, mostly in cash, over three years to 2028 as it seeks to fend off a hostile bid from smaller rival Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS). Mediobanca reiterated in a statement that MPS' offer "lacks an industrial and financial rationale for Mediobanca shareholders and carries clear and significant execution risks." After gaining regulatory approval from the European Central Bank on Wednesday, MPS is ready to launch its all-share bid for Mediobanca next month. In an attempt to become too big for MPS to swallow, Mediobanca proposed in April to buy private bank Banca Generali. But it was forced to delay a shareholder vote on the deal to September 25 to avoid a possible defeat, as investors opposing the deal have recently increased their holdings in the merchant bank. In its updated three-year plan to 2028, published on Friday, Mediobanca confirmed it would focus on growing its wealth management business, with its corporate and investment banking segment providing support, and consumer finance operations serving as a driver of diversification against macroeconomic risks. "This virtuous path will be further strengthened by the offer for Banca Generali", it said. In its previous three-year plan to 2026, Mediobanca had said it would return more than 4 billion euros to shareholders over the period and forecast a net profit above 1.4 billion euros. Mediobanca now sees net profit growing 4.5% over the three financial years to 2028, reaching 1.9 billion euros, and expects revenue to rise at an annual average rate of 6% to over 4.4 billion euros.

Dries Van Noten's Spring 2026 Collection Boosts Color On Sales Floor
PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 26: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from ... More Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Dries Van Noten Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 26, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Fashion can be a pretty dramatic scene, especially when the industry learns of a beloved designer stepping down from his brand or post. Such was the case when Belgian designer Dries Van Noten announced he was stepping down from his namesake label. Not to fear, he warned, he was leaving in charge 33-year-old Julian Klausner, who had worked as the womenswear designer for the brand since 2018. After a stunning debut for the women's Fall-Winter 2025 collection in March, Klausner debuted his first men's collection for Spring-Summer 2026 this week in Paris, reaffirming the founder's words with another stunning collection. It comes on the heels of the brand's recently opened New York store in Soho, the second US outpost for the label founded in 1986 by its namesake, who was also part of the infamous Antwerp Six designers. While the current merchandise on the selling floor of the new Mercer Street store was the funding designer's last, with two hits so far, Klausner will undoubtedly continue to stock unique designs that resonate across many fashion tribes.

(Photo by) Given his background for women's designs, it wasn't a complete surprise that Klausner leaned into the more feminine aspect of fashion that has infiltrated men's fashion of late as tastes change. Men become more emboldened and experimental in their dress. This collection offered plenty of color, textures, and patterns, combined like no other brand can, and infused it with new silhouette propositions for guys.

(Photo by) To a Lou Reed soundtrack, Klausner set the stage for his show that recalled the archetypal Dries Van Noten wardrobe according to show notes and as 'late night blurs into a morning,' where 'a man in love strolls the beach at dawn, after a party. Shirts unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up, the silhouette takes on a new silhouette." This is all to say that the collection exuded a certain ease and informality while being deliberate. Key highlights in the outing will translate to selling floor intrigue and ostensibly sales in a staid market that needs excitement to churn buying motivation. They include a new proposition of a car coat in a trapeze shape, silk saris tied over pants, extremely embellished bomber jackets and tanks, cummerbunds as a daily proposition, removed from formality, and bike shorts as a colorful layering staple. Shorts, part of an emerging trend, were also prevalent and in various FRANCE - JUNE 26: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from ...

(Photo by) The true mastery of the brand's and Klausner's interpretations is its ability to mix pattern, color, and texture in bold, inventive ways. Thick Jockey stripes in burgundy, turquoise, and pink combos juxtaposed neutral browns and grey family or paired with a bright Kelly green; large florals in pink and green, black and white, or orange and purple had the brand's Orient mood, while colorful beading styles were paired with a simple topper coat. Satins and a bevy of jacquards and rich knitwear form the fabric base. Accessories had sporty feel in duffle bags and flat sneakers. Several cuts, such as tank tops, boat neck styles, fitted bodice wool suiting tanks, and blouson style tops, thanks to waist sashing, added feminine touches to the men's offering. Given the newness, these styles won't be found in many closets, giving many men a reason to shop.
