  • Iran, Europe, and the Economic Cost of Conflict

    Iran, Europe, and the Economic Cost of Conflict
    Jun 10 2026
    Conflict in the Middle East has implications that extend far beyond the region itself. For Europe, tensions involving Iran could affect energy markets, international trade, inflation, financial stability, and even the continent's environmental ambitions. Such a conflict could also reshape geopolitical alliances and force governments to reconsider long-standing economic and security dependencies. In this episode of What Matters Today, we explore the potential economic, political, and environmental consequences of a conflict with Iran for Europe. Our guest for this episode is Dominic Rohner, Professor of International Economics here at the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Faculty Associate at the Institute’s Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding.

  • The 10 Million Switzerland Debate

    The 10 Million Switzerland Debate
    Jun 1 2026
    As Switzerland prepares to vote on the so-called “No to a Switzerland with 10 million!” initiative on 14 June, questions surrounding immigration, population growth, and Switzerland’s relationship with Europe have once again come to the forefront of public debate. Supporters argue that rapid population growth is placing increasing pressure on housing, transport, and public infrastructure, while opponents warn that restricting immigration could weaken the economy and deepen labour shortages in key sectors. In this episode, we explore the economic and political implications of the debate - from the role immigration plays in Switzerland’s prosperity to the potential consequences for the country’s relationship with the European Union and the future of the bilateral agreements. Our guest is Cédric Tille, Professor of International Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute, Head of the Bilateral Assistance and Capacity Building for Central Banks (BCC) Programme, and is a Faculty Associate at the Institute’s Centre for Finance and Development.

  • Le débat sur la Suisse à 10 millions

    Le débat sur la Suisse à 10 millions
    Jun 1 2026
    Alors que la Suisse s’apprête à voter, le 14 juin prochain, sur l’initiative « Pas de Suisse à 10 millions ! (initiative pour la durabilité) », les questions liées à l’immigration, à la croissance démographique et aux relations entre la Suisse et l’Europe reviennent au cœur du débat public. Les partisans de l’initiative estiment que la croissance rapide de la population exerce une pression croissante sur le logement, les transports et les infrastructures publiques, tandis que ses opposants mettent en garde contre les conséquences économiques d’une restriction de l’immigration, notamment l’aggravation des pénuries de main-d’œuvre dans des secteurs clés. Dans cet épisode en francais de “What Matters Today”, nous explorons les implications économiques et politiques de ce débat - du rôle que joue l’immigration dans la prospérité de la Suisse aux conséquences potentielles pour les relations entre la Suisse et l’Union européenne, ainsi que pour l’avenir des accords bilatéraux. Mon invité est Cédric Tille, professeur d’économie internationale au Geneva Graduate Institute, responsable du programme Bilateral Assistance and Capacity Building for Central Banks (BCC) et chercheur associé au Centre for Finance and Development de l’Institut.
