Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 27 February 2025

We see two divergent tales of consumer sentiment in the US and China: there are encouraging stories from Beijing and signs of general dissatisfaction from Washington. In this episode, we also discuss the results of Germany’s snap elections and the weak political environment it creates, as well as Trump’s non-tariff restrictions on Chinese investments.

“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.
