Banking for Interactive Entertainment

For over 330 years, Coutts has provided banking services to dynamic businesses in high-growth sectors. Today we continue this innovative legacy, working with individuals and their businesses in the Interactive Entertainment sector to help them realise the full potential of their creative missions. We know this is crucial now for game development, esports, streaming and influencers, as well as for gaming itself and user generated content. These services now make up a market set to surpass a value of $300 billion by 2026 (Mordor Intelligence 2022).

Our  partnership with the London Games Festival is part of our commitment to support gaming businesses as they scale and grow. Our heritage in multimedia banking means we understand the fast-developing nature of technology and markets in this space, offering flexible banking and financing solutions to help companies and individuals take full advantage of every opportunity.

An economy experiences ‘stagflation’ when growth is stagnant and inflation is high. It’s an unwanted situation because money is losing value while investments into assets such as shares in companies aren’t making returns because there is such low, or even negative, economic growth.

Stagflation became financially synonymous with the difficulties the UK and other economies faced in the 1970s. The oil producing organisation OPEC embargoed oil exports to many western nations, pushing up oil and energy prices dramatically. The rise in the cost of living, fuelled in part by wage price spirals, coincided with stagnant economic growth, and unemployment was high while things got more expensive. This resulted in stagflation.

Although we currently have an energy shock, especially in Europe, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the main driver of today’s inflation pressures was the pandemic. It led to a large demand for goods when strained and locked-down supply chains couldn’t cope.
