Five factors are expected to be the main contributors to America's economy in 2025, so what does that mean for me and my investments? Here's what you need to know.

Navigating the Tide of Prosperity: Prudent Use of FDI Surplus 🌊💰 In the wake of a robust influx of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), it's tempting for governments to view this windfall as a means to curry favor with the electorate. However, the true measure of foresight lies not in short-term gains but in the steadfast commitment to long-term prosperity. As we stand at the crossroads of opportunity, the imperative to channel this surplus into the bedrock of our future - infrastructure, education, and health - cannot be overstated. The allure of using these funds to "buy" an election is a siren call that must be resisted. Investing in infrastructure is akin to laying the groundwork for sustained economic growth. It's the foundation upon which businesses can thrive, communities can connect, and a nation can compete on the global stage. Education, on the other hand, is the beacon that lights the way forward. By allocating resources towards nurturing minds, we're not just equipping individuals with skills; we're empowering a generation to innovate, to lead, to solve the challenges that lie ahead. And let's not forget health - the cornerstone of a society's wellbeing. A healthy population is a productive one. Investment in healthcare is an investment in the very fabric of our nation's resilience, ensuring that every citizen can contribute to and benefit from our collective progress. As I reflect on my 25 years in the Semiconductor and IT Agency recruitment sectors, I've witnessed the transformative power of wise investments. Establishing Software Placements in 2008 was a testament to the importance of foresight and prudent financial planning. Let's engage in a dialogue on how we can best steward our resources for a brighter future. Share your thoughts, and let's build a consensus on the path forward. #InfrastructureInvestment #EducationForAll #HealthcareInnovation

With announcements from the October Budget looming, Head of Asset Allocation, Kevin Kidney, reviews how the UK’s economic growth could be impacted by impending budget announcements. With further commentary on how positive US employment suggests the US economy is stronger than markets perceived, how will the future growth of both the US and UK economies impact markets?    #UKEconomy #InterestRates #BankOfEngland

Let's not get doom and gloom over the latest economic growth figures. The fall is simply down to risk mitigation (aka 'caution.'). Key investment decisions were always likely to be held back until after the Budget. Now, with greater clarity and sense of where the economy is heading over the next five years, momentum will begin to build. https://lnkd.in/edXhKKMZ

The new Government has pledged to ‘fix the foundations' of the country for the long-term by boosting economic growth with reforms to energy and planning. However to truly fix the foundations of economy, we need some common sense with a recognition that public services and the social economy is not just a mere outcome of economic growth or a cost, but an essential input. https://lnkd.in/eCDuQVwD

Watch Out For The Gaps! The US economy is flying . The UK / Europe has slow growth. Interest rates will diverge. Within the US and UK the rich are clearly getting richer and the poorer . Make sure you own money is invested wisely to be in the right sectors, talk to an advisor . Social unrest may well increase. Always diversify investments in my opinion between clearly researched areas #deVere #investment #ideas #financial

Last week I had the pleasure of taking part in the Nordea US study trip to Washington DC. During this trip, I gained valuable insights into US politics, foreign policy, monetary and fiscal policy, and security policy. We had the opportunity to speak with top-notch professionals and advisors to policymakers. Key Takeaways: · The US is highly divided politically. The upcoming presidential elections are too close to call, with 7 pivotal toss-up states playing a crucial role rather than the nationwide result. · Predicting the direction of US politics post-election is challenging. A tight result could lead to widespread chaos if one side refuses to honor the outcome. Congressional elections will also significantly impact post-election politics. · The US economy remains strong, but the budget deficit is alarmingly high given the economic cycle. Neither side has effective tools to tackle the deficit. · The Fed is confident in cutting rates, but the neutral level is likely higher than the market currently prices in. We should expect gradual cuts rather than aggressive rate cut cycle. · China continues to be the biggest trade and military challenger to the US, but its macroeconomic situation has weakened its global power against the US. · Europeans should take a larger role in funding education and infrastructure investments in Africa. With predicted population growth, Africa needs broader support to create jobs and welfare for its people. Europe has the most at stake if Africa fails to achieve economic growth that matches its population growth. Huge thanks to the great people at Nordea for arranging this investor trip, which provided thorough insights into the most pressing political topics in just 3.5 days.
