India and France Strengthen Defence Ties with New Joint Manufacturing Pact

In an increasingly complex and multipolar world, strategic partnerships are more vital than ever. Among these, the burgeoning relationship between India and France stands out, particularly in the critical domain of defence. Both nations, with their independent foreign policies and shared commitment to strategic autonomy , have found common ground in enhancing their defence industrial base and fostering greater interoperability. The latest manifestation of this deepening bond is a significant new joint manufacturing pact , poised to redefine their defence cooperation. The recent agreement, forged during high-level diplomatic engagements, represents a quantum leap from a buyer-seller relationship to one of co-development and co-production. For decades, France has been a reliable supplier of advanced defence technology to India, from the Mirage 2000 fighter jets that proved their mettle in various conflicts to the Scorpene-class submarines and the Rafale multi-role combat aircraft , whi...

The Indo-Pacific “Armour” Up: Why the US Is Arming India & Japan With Next-Gen Weapons to Counter China

The Indo-Pacific is entering a decisive new era of strategic rivalry, marked by the United States’ coordinated move to fortify the region’s balance of power through major defense transfers to India and Japan.

This initiative is not merely transactional but deeply strategic, designed to address specific geographical vulnerabilities; India is receiving a $93 million package tailored for high-altitude mountain warfare , while Japan is securing an $82 million suite of precision munitions for maritime defense and counterstrike capabilities. By simultaneously strengthening India’s land defenses in the Himalayas and Japan’s maritime strike reach in the East China Sea , the Pentagon is knitting together a multi-front response to Beijing’s aggressive posturing, ensuring that the r...

Geopolitics is the New Credit Risk: Why the ECB is Forcing Banks to Model the Next Global Conflict

For years bank stress tests concentrated on the expected: a steep increase in interest rates a severe recession or a housing market crash. Currently the updated stress test, in Europe includes simulating the unforeseen: conflicts and trade division. On December 12 the European Central Bank (ECB) revealed a new supervisory focus, for 2026: conducting a reverse geopolitical risk stress test on 110 banks under direct supervision. This marks a point. It represents the recognition by a leading worldwide financial authority that geopolitical risk—caused by incidents such as the Red Sea crisis US-China trade tensions and local conflicts—is no longer a remote "tail risk" but a fundamental measurable danger, to financial stability. What is the ECB's Reverse Stress Test? The ECB’s 2026 thematic stress test is groundbreaking as it serves as a " stress test," a tool that inverts the conventional supervisory approach. The Traditional vs. The Reverse Model Conventional Stre...
