Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 26 June 2025
There’s a slowdown of listing activity in Asia Pacific for the first half of 2025 amid heightened market uncertainty, but we believe that IPO-ready companies should proceed with their plans. We also look at China requiring auto makers to use domestic microchips in their cars by 2027, US Fed chair Jerome Powell turning down prospects of a July rate cut, and the de-escalation of conflict in the Middle East.
“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.
