Quick Glance: South Korea Q1 GDP Growth Exceeds Estimates

The South Korean economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter, driven by an increase in domestic consumption and robust exports. However, the sustainability of the recovery was questioned.

GDP for the January-March quarter grew by 1.3%, marking the sharpest expansion since the fourth quarter of 2021 and surpassing all forecasts.

Growth in domestic demand was the main factor behind the stronger-than-expected GDP, with private consumption increasing by 0.8%. Analysts expressed uncertainty regarding the long-term strength of economic growth.

Despite a rebound in exports and an increase in government spending, uncertainty remains regarding inflation outlook and monetary policy, as the Bank of Korea reconsiders its economic growth projections for 2024.

Quick Glance: Time for Kering’s King to Consider a Step Back

Francois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, should consider bringing in fresh blood and possibly appointing a new CEO.

In any sector other than luxury, shareholders might have already stepped in to suggest a change at the helm, but at Kering, founding families tightly control the company.

The board of Kering should apply pressure on the chairman to at least give up the CEO role.

Pinault should step back into the chairman's job and leave a new Kering chief the independence they will need.

Quick Glance: Dispute Arises Over Fusion Between Tapestry Inc. and Capri Holdings

Legal actions have been taken by the FTC to block the proposed merger between Tapestry Inc. and Capri Holdings Limited.

Competition between the involved brands would be at risk with the merger, potentially granting Tapestry a dominant market share in the 'accessible luxury' handbag sector.

To halt the deal, the FTC is seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, with Tapestry and Capri planning to contest the decision in court.

Both companies stress that the merger has already been approved by regulators in the European Union and Japan, aiming to finalize the acquisition while battling the FTC lawsuit.

There are two ways to look at the EU's relative decline: living standards and power.

The EU is dealing with different threats from aggressive Russia, China, and the United States.

To tackle the challenges, the EU needs to strengthen its single market, invest in key industries, and focus on future technologies.
