Matthieu Favas

With roots in the wine industry, I am now a finance correspondent at The Economist, covering banking, fintech, insurance and private equity, among other things. I write about food and agriculture, too, and I particularly like to study how all these topics blend with geopolitics (see special report). Also I write about wine.
