New York Offers Jakarta Bond Help

New York City will send financial experts to help Jakarta prepare its first municipal bond issuance.

New York City has offered to send financial experts to Jakarta to help the capital prepare for its planned municipal bond issuance, Governor Pramono Anung said this week. The offer came as the two cities discussed ways to strengthen financial ties, with New York's expertise in municipal debt seen as valuable for a market Jakarta has not yet tapped.

For Jakarta, a bond program would open a new source of financing beyond transfers from the central government, potentially funding infrastructure and public services more independently. If it goes ahead, it could also serve as a model for other Indonesian cities weighing similar routes to raise their own capital.

On Bets Big on Soccer and Golf

The Swiss running brand is expanding into new sports as it chases nearly double sales by 2029.

Days after announcing a major expansion into soccer, On said it will also launch golf as part of a push toward $7 billion in yearly revenue by 2029. The brand's Mbappé soccer announcement alone drove $8 billion in earned media reach, the most-seen story in the company's history, according to WWD. Retail Dive reports On is targeting high-teens growth annually over the next three years to nearly double sales by that deadline.

Analysts aren't convinced the pace can hold, calling the market 'far more challenging' than in past years. On's move reflects a broader pattern among sportswear brands stretching into new categories to keep growth stories alive as their core running business matures.

Daniel Lee Finds Beauty in Imperfection

At Burberry's SS27 show, the designer explored what he calls the 'intentional imperfection' of great British dressing.

Daniel Lee closed London Fashion Week with Burberry's Spring/Summer 2027 collection, built around a theme he described as the 'intentional imperfection' of classic British style. Who What Wear called it Burberry's way of cementing what will be the major trend fashion people wear in 2027, a strong note to end the London shows on.

The collection is another marker of Lee's ongoing effort to redefine Burberry's identity since taking the helm, leaning into a slightly undone, lived-in take on British heritage dressing rather than polish for its own sake. It's the kind of directional statement that tends to ripple out into how other designers and shoppers approach the season ahead.

Palantir Faces a British Reckoning

Prime Minister Andy Burnham must decide whether to cut Palantir's £330 million NHS contract.

Andy Burnham once kept Palantir out of Greater Manchester when he led the region. Now, as prime minister, he faces a bigger version of the same question: whether to cut the company's £330 million contract with Britain's National Health Service, a decision WIRED calls his first real reckoning with the firm.

The stakes go beyond one contract. Palantir's data-analysis tools have become embedded in health and security systems across multiple governments, and Britain's decision will be watched as a signal of how far democracies are willing to let the company into sensitive public infrastructure — and how hard it is to walk that back once it's there.
