Content Synopsis:
This text highlights the alarming financial sector’s blind spot regarding the risks of nuclear war, despite the increasing global tensions and expert warnings about its probability. It points out that financial institutions continue to invest billions in nuclear weapons manufacturers, even though a nuclear conflict could have devastating economic consequences, including the collapse of supply chains and the decimation of markets. The text criticizes credit rating agencies and insurers for not adequately accounting for nuclear risks, particularly for major financial hubs which are likely targets, and notes that the UN is initiating a study on the economic impact of nuclear war. Finally, it suggests that ethical investment pressure is beginning to push financial institutions to divest from nuclear weapons companies, indicating a potential shift towards recognizing these as “toxic assets.”
