Dr Matteo Giordano
Macro-financial economist. Shipping, trade, and the credit beneath them.
I read real sectors through their balance sheets: currently shipping, trade and the credit beneath them; previously defence-industrial economics within the UK Ministry of Defence ecosystem. Today that means strategic finance and market intelligence for a shipping group; before that, the Input-Output, balance-sheet and scenario models behind UK defence industrial-capacity and procurement discussions.
Four lines of work
All researchShipping and trade finance
The freight rate is the output; the credit chain is the mechanism. Read from inside the industry rather than off a screen.
Cargo & CollateralMacro-financial strategy and research
Where the pressure sits in a system, and what it takes to move it. Sovereign, monetary and market structure, read at the level of the mechanism.
Macro-structure, DMOs and monetary regimesDefence and security economics
Capability is downstream of industrial structure and financing. The defence-industrial base read as an economy; the commercial side runs through Garrison Sterling.
Modelling the defence-industrial baseMonetary architecture and hierarchy
Money is a hierarchy of interlocking balance sheets; a crisis is the moment they stop clearing. Collateral, repo, TARGET and subordination in the euro area.
