Soumaya Keynes
The Financial Times has hired Soumaya Keynes as an economics podcast host and columnist.
Keynes is currently Britain economics editor at The Economist and will join the FT in the summer.
In her column, Keynes will write about the new ideas, old arguments and current debates over the economy and how they are shaping our world. She will also host a new weekly economics podcast that will launch in 2024.
“I am delighted that Soumaya has decided to join the FT as a columnist and podcast host,” said FT editor Roula Khalaf in a statement. “She is an outstanding commentator and presenter, and will provide an authoritative new voice in the FT’s world-class line-up of economics writers.”
Between 2017-21, Keynes was also the co-host of the “Trade Talks” podcast. Before joining The Economist, she was a research economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, where she worked on UK state pensions and the public finances, and a policy adviser at HM Treasury focused on banking and credit.
