Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 21 May 2025
The US losing its top-grade credit rating did not come as a surprise, but concerns are mounting as Trump’s tax reform bill will pad the already mounting federal debt. In this episode, we also talk about Japan’s economy, which is hit hard by tariffs despite not being Trump’s main target. Meanwhile, a widely popular plush toy brand from Beijing has proven to be tariff-resilient globally.
“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.
