The week ahead in business: Michael Bloomberg visit to Dublin, Eurogroup candidacy and CSO population data
The founder of Bloomberg will the first speaker at a forum that is being styled 'The Future of Finance'. Such events invariably include a 'fireside chat' – yes, even in the height of summer – and on this occasion it will feature Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe in conversation with Stephen Carroll of Bloomberg News. Also appearing will be Mary-Elizabeth McMunn, deputy governor at the Central Bank of Ireland, and Colin Hunt, the CEO of newly independent AIB, who is being tipped for a big pay rise now that the aforementioned Mr Donohoe has lifted a salary cap on the bank. Staying with the finance minister, and next Friday is the deadline for a challenger to his position as president of the Eurogroup. So far he is the only finance minister among the 20 countries in the eurozone to announce his candidacy for what would be a third term in charge. On Thursday we get a quarterly economic commentary from the ESRI, which may challenge the record for the most mentions of the word 'uncertainty' in a single economic document. The Central Bank managed 47 usages in its Quarterly Bulletin last week. Statistics wise, tomorrow the CSO will have Irish population estimates from administrative data sources for 2023, and on Friday it will have an update on the number of people who have arrived from Ukraine. Finally, most weeks feature a discussion about artificial intelligence and what it all means, and this week's is being hosted by the Institute of International and European Affairs at its Dublin offices tomorrow. There's a 'keynote address' from Niamh Smyth, the junior minister at the Department of Enterprise who has special responsibility for AI. In the subsequent panel discuss, the assistant secretary in the Department, Jean Carberry, will be among the participants.

Israel Preparing Strike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities According to Report
Oil jumped following a CNN report that new US intelligence suggests Israel is preparing for a potential strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Brent crude rose above $66 a barrel while West Texas Intermediate surged as much as 3.5% before paring gains. It wasn't clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision on whether to carry out the strikes, CNN said, citing unidentified officials. Oil has been volatile since last week on mixed headlines about the fate of Iran-US nuclear talks, which could pave the way for more barrels to return to a market that's expected to be oversupplied later in the year. An attack by Israel would hinder any progress in those negotiations and add to unrest in the Middle East, which supplies about a third of the world's crude. Golnar Motevalli, who leads our coverage of Iran joined Stephen Carroll and Valerie Tytel on Bloomberg Radio to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)

Mystery Grows Over What Caused Crippling Spain Blackout
Spain and Portugal were returning to some semblance of normality early Tuesday, with many questions remaining about what caused one of Europe's worst blackouts in years across the Iberian peninsula the previous day. Spanish power supplies were back to nearly 100% capacity at around 7 a.m. in Madrid, and urban trains were slowly returning to regular service, according to operators. Portugal said power has been restored for all users, and grid operator REN said the network is "perfectly stabilized." Service had already returned to homes across large parts of greater Lisbon by Monday night. Bloomberg Portugal Bureau Chief Sofia Horta e Costa joins Stephen Carroll and Lizzy Burden on Bloomberg Radio with the details. (Source: Bloomberg)
