Geopolitical Uncertainty

Politics as the new economics? Uncertainties over monetary and foreign policies, interest rates, oil prices and myriad other factors affect markets. In a period of perceived heightened risks providing increased volatility in financial markets:

  • What is the impact (or not) of geopolitical uncertainty on economies and financial decision-makers globally and more particularly in Asia?
  • Geopolitical impacts may be temporary - how does this affect policy and investment strategy for the longer term?
