Embracing Disruption
Eight compass points to find your bearings in the Year of the Snake
While the calendar may already show 2025, for investors the new year will only truly start later in January. On 20 January, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States of America and implement his “America First” agenda. A few days later, on 29 January, large swathes of East Asia will come to a standstill as people celebrate the Lunar New Year and usher in the Year of the Snake. 2025 promises to be a year where investors will need to keep their eyes on both Beijing and Mar-a-Lago – and potentially on more outlying places, too, such as Greenland or Panama.
