Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. Today's episode is part two of our recent Intelligence Squared Economic Outlook leadership special. We were joined live at Smith Square Hall in Westminster by Francine Lequroir, editor at large at Bloomberg TV and the anchor of Leaders with Lequroix. Few journalists have spent more time questioning the people who shape the global economy than Francine Le Croix.

At Bloomberg TV, she interviews three to four chief executives every day, and over the course of her career she has cross examined many of the heads of state, central bankers, and founders who have shaped our world. This episode is part of the Intelligence Squared economic outlook, created in partnership with Guinness Global Investors. Guinness Global Investors is an independent British fund manager that helps Both individuals and institutions harness the future drivers of growth to achieve their investment goals.
