Former Citi clients leaving VeloBank as image problems mount

A significant number of former Citibank clients who were forcibly transferred to VeloBank are choosing to leave the new institution. The bank is struggling with image problems stemming from the involuntary migration of customers. Analysts say VeloBank must take far more proactive steps to retain clients and convince them of the value of its offering.

Can VeloBank retain former Citi clients without radically overhauling its offering?

Chinese tycoon Guo Wengui sentenced to 30 years in US prison for $1bn fraud

A US federal court has sentenced exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, also known as Ho Wan Kwok and Miles Guo, to 30 years in prison. In July 2024, a jury unanimously found him guilty on nine of 12 charges including securities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. The FBI arrested him in March 2023 at his luxury Manhattan apartment overlooking Central Park. His fraud scheme targeted thousands of victims and exceeded $1 billion.

Is a 30-year prison sentence appropriate for a fraud exceeding $1 billion?

EU's MiCA regulation from July 2026 — foreign crypto firms set to dominate Polish market

The EU's MiCA regulation on crypto markets will fully take effect on 1 July 2026, banning unlicensed exchanges from operating in the EU. Poland is unprepared, lacking legislation to designate a supervisory authority or align penalties with the new rules. Experts warn that foreign firms already holding MiCA licences will fill the gap and dominate the Polish market.

Should Poland implement MiCA-aligned regulations more quickly?

Rural retreats replace penthouses as the new luxury status symbol

The wealthiest people are increasingly swapping city-centre penthouses for rural homes and countryside retreats. Space, tranquillity and nature — scarce in modern metropolises — have become the new markers of true luxury. Rural estates and farmhouses are now displacing urban prestige addresses as the ultimate status symbol among the global elite.

Is a rural home now a greater luxury status symbol than a city-centre penthouse?

Chinese Car Sales Drop 19.5% — Manufacturers Eye European Market

Retail passenger car sales in China fell 19.5% year-on-year from January to May 2026, reaching 7.099 million units. The NEV segment — covering electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and range-extender models — shrank 15.1% to around 3.7 million units. With the domestic market weakening, Chinese automakers are turning to Europe as a natural target for expansion.

Should Europe impose stricter limits on Chinese car imports?

Pole living in Cebu since 2018: house for 6,000 PLN/month, no rat race

Maciej, a Pole who spent 10 years in China, has been living on Cebu in the Philippines since 2018. He says roughly 6,000 PLN per month covers a house rental and a comfortable lifestyle. He compares the Philippines to Poland of decades past — relaxed, people-centred, and free from the pressures of a rat race, contrasting it with China where people traded freedom for consumer comfort.

Is moving to a cheaper country a good way to escape the rat race?
