A Dictionary of Finance is a business podcast hosted by European Investment Bank. It has 77 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

Allar and Matt work for the EU bank. But they’re not bankers. So they often find themselves wondering just what their super-smart banker colleagues are talking about. Each week they sit down with experts from the European Investment Bank and make them explain words, phrases and concepts frequently used in economics and finance in a way that's understandable, whether you’re a student, a citizen, or a business owner. No jargon, no acronyms--but just about as much fun as a finance podcast can be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
