Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 20 February 2025

Rising inflation is now a bigger concern of mature and developing economies. Our view is that major central banks will keep interest rates on hold amid inflation woes, particularly in Europe. We also discuss rice supply problems in Japan and the Philippines, President Xi’s recent meeting with Chinese tech executives, and the path of the US dollar in this episode.

“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.
