The global financial outlook for 2025 suggests a year of gradual stabilisation and moderate growth, driven by easing inflationary pressures and a more accommodative stance from central banks, including potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and other major institutions.
Trump’s re-election presents a multifaceted landscape for markets and asset classes. His pro-business policies and deregulation efforts are expected to benefit equities, while potential trade tensions could introduce significant volatility.
Europe is likely to experience moderate growth, supported by easing inflation and potential monetary policy adjustments by the European Central Bank (ECB) and emerging markets, particularly in Asia, are poised to lead global growth, supported by strong consumer demand and investment in technology and infrastructure.
As we look ahead to 2025, we anticipate a year filled with growth opportunities, particularly in innovation-driven sectors. However, we must also remain vigilant of the ongoing risks tied to economic and geopolitical uncertainties. Our year-end special edition captures the leading trends and forecasts across Banking, Asset Management, Private Markets, and Consulting services. This edition provides insightful perspectives to investment professionals like you, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions. We hope you find this edition valuable and look forward to supporting your success.
We thank you for your continued association with us in 2024; wish you a safe and joyful holiday season and the very best for 2025.
