PODCAST: Cutting remittance fees in times of need
With GM’s shareholder meeting taking place today, there’s news that the head of Fiat Chrysler has been shopping around for hedge fund partners to put up money to encourage a merger between the two companies. John Stoll, bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal in Detroit, joins us with more. We’ll also take a look at the JOLTS report out today. And we’ll talk about how cutting remittance fees after disasters like the recent earthquake in Nepal could be an effective form of post-disaster aid.
