Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 24 April 2025

The International Monetary Fund sees weaker global growth and rising inflation, the latter a more pronounced problem in the US than elsewhere. In our 30th episode, we discuss how the Fed is facing tougher times in setting policy rates, a wave of patriotism buoying Chinese markets up, and the future of economic sanctions on Russia with ceasefire talks on the table.

“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.
