Sound Economies with Mel & Peter: 7 August 2025
India is pressured to stop its purchases of Russian oil, but we do not see this triggering a surge in prices anytime soon. We also dive deeper into Q2 GDP numbers for Indonesia and the Philippines, review resilient startups across Asia, and explain why we are keeping our no-hike stance on the US Fed despite dismal jobs data.
“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.
