While bailouts can sometimes be unavoidable, they can be prevented with simple rules and strong, independent regulators. And profits, too, can be shared - not through one-off taxes, but by steadily lowering costs for customers and businesses. By contrast, heavy political involvement in banking M&amp;A risks holding back the development of capital markets and reinforcing an economy still overly reliant on banks. Four years after Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, we also revisit the country\u2019s economy and the situation of refugees in Europe, caught between the desire to stay and the hope of returning home."}
