Matthieu Favas

With roots in the wine industry, I now lead the commodities coverage at The Economist, having previously covered banking, crypto, fintech and private equity (among other topics). I also write about the intersection of finance and geopolitics, notably economic sanctions. Sometimes I edit the Finance & Economics section, too. And sometimes I write about wine.
