Standard Chartered CEO on Risks, Credit Cycle, US Economy

Standard Chartered Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters discusses current geopolitical tensions. "I think we've gotten to a place where we're definitely operating in a different world, with much higher barriers to trade in some key corridors," he tells Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua. "But the global economy is continuing to perk along just fine," Winters adds. He also talks about the state of the US economy and crypto moving into the traditional banking space. He speaks on Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
