Sweden has teamed up with doctors for a new ad campaign about the health benefits of a visit, billing itself as ‘the first country in the world that doctors can prescribe’. The claims have some grounding in fact, as scientific studies confirm the advantages offered by Swedish habits such as cold plunges, foraging and ‘forest bathing’.
Across the tourism sector, people are spending more of their vacation doing things, rather than just looking at them. By 2030, the majority of tourists globally will be millennials or Gen Z, and two thirds of 18 to 35-year-olds say they find spending money on experiences more fulfilling than buying an item of the same value.

How is the external environment in which banks operate changing? How can risks from geopolitical uncertainty, digitalisation and climate change feed through to banks?
06:02 How is supervision evolving?
In a changing external environment, we need new strategies to properly manage new risks. How is European supervision adapting to become more efficient, effective and risk-focused?
08:57 Why is supervision so complex?
Modern banks are complex, operating across borders and with different business models. How can we reduce undue complexity in supervision?
10:54 Let’s talk about competitiveness
Do regulation and supervision hinder the competitiveness of euro area banks? What does the banking sector need to do to stay competitive, and how can European banking supervision help?
