Racial discrimination in banking

Business Weekly

Available for over a year

In this episode we investigate racial discrimination in the banking system and find out how it affects the businesses owned by people of colour. We’ll also ask why so few governments plan effectively for catastrophe and hear about the impact that has had on the ability to react to Covid-19 - and what it might mean for future challenges. Plus we’ll hear from the Welsh choir who are longing to sing together once again. Presented by Lucy Burton. (Image: Vintage illustration of a group of rich men wearing top hats on Wall Street, 1927.
