Podcast – Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 3 October 2024
Public finances and geopolitics are in focus for this podcast episode. We tackle Iran’s recent missile attack against Israel and its impact on world markets, a new law imposing the so-called “Netflix tax” in the Philippines, the Thai government’s cash handouts worth USD 300 to boost household consumption, and a labor strike that has paralyzed the operations of major ports in the US.
“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.
