Real Talk Economics: Credit Strategy Needs a Better Feed
Economic noise is constant and context is scarce. Credit professionals need more than macro headlines — we need intelligence with consequence.
That’s exactly what Real Talk Economics delivers.
Hosted by Markus Kuger, Chief Economic Advisor at Baker Ing, this live monthly series cuts through the spin to bring credit-relevant analysis of global economic events — tuned for cash flow, insolvency, working capital, and risk.
No jargon. No filler. Just the signals that matter, delivered with clarity and strategic weight.

Most economic commentary is written for policymakers or equity investors. Not for credit teams. Real Talk Economics flips that.
Every episode breaks down:
- Macro trends that will affect payment behaviour
- Trade shifts that could disrupt working capital
- Political risks that might increase dispute or recovery complexity
- Sector-specific signals tied to insolvency, inflation, or fiscal drift
Markus doesn’t talk in probabilities — he talks in implications. And that’s why it’s gained real traction across the trade credit world.
You can view all previous sessions via the Economic Briefing archive. Past topics have covered:
- January: The global growth divergence — services up, manufacturing down
- March: Europe at a crossroads — rising insolvencies and supply chain distortion
- April: Sticky inflation and structural drag — why policy’s not doing enough
- May: Germany under pressure — demographic decay, political volatility, and export slowdown
Every session is available on demand. But watching live is where it counts — that’s where you can submit questions, test scenarios, and get direct answers from Markus himself.
