Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said the UK and the rest of Europe are facing less of an inflation threat than the US, opening the prospect of a rate cut for Britain before the Federal Reserve moves.

(2) Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is making life tougher for his peers around the world as the prospect of higher-for-longer US interest rates reduces room for easier policy elsewhere.

(3) Europe's economy is nearing the end of a malaise that's resulted in more than a year of near stagnation, according to European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde.

(4) The European Union's waning clout versus major geopolitical rivals is sounding alarm bells in Europe's capitals, compelling leaders to discuss a radical transformation to boost the bloc's competitiveness in a hostile world.

(5) The world's two great economic rivals, China and the US, will drive much of the increase in global public debt over the next five years, with American spending creating trouble for many other countries by keeping interest rates high, officials at the International Monetary Fund said.
