Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 12 December 2024

We’re counting down to the holidays and to the changing of the guard in the US. Amid increased volatility, we look into China’s way forward in boosting private consumption, the mainland’s antitrust probe on Nvidia, and the fate of the strong dollar policy under incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. We also look at the Philippines’ new tax refund scheme for foreign tourists. 
   
“Sound Economies with Mel & Peter” is a weekly podcast show where our founding CEO Peter Lundgreen and Manila-based Chief Economist Mel Lopez discuss what’s happening in economies around the world and their views of the global financial markets.
