*APAC Market Monitor* – October was eventful in Asia Pacific, with the month marking a series of important political and policy developments in the region: 👉 The Chinese government unveiled a long-awaited stimulus package to support the economy as it struggles with deflationary pressures. 👉 Japan held general elections, while the Vietnamese parliament elected a new president. Meanwhile, Malaysia released its 2025 budget, and the newly appointed Indonesian president confirmed his cabinet. 👉 In other parts of the region, easing inflation is finally allowing central banks to lower interest rates from previous highs. South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines all saw a decline in interest rates last month. 👉 Other important developments include India’s new electric-vehicle scheme, the Australian government’s efforts to control its two dominant supermarkets, and the South Korean government’s investment expansion into its domestic semiconductor industry.

The German snap elections does not change our base case for a CDU win and should pave the way for the temporary suspension of the controversial debt break. The collapse of the German government is an event we considered possible in our 2024 Events to Watch report and is a good reminder of the need to develop and reassess market scenarios planning. Business implications: 👉 The snap elections do not change our base case for the new German governing coalition, which will be headed by the CDU, with Friedrich Merz likely to be Germany’s new Chancellor. 👉 The big question for businesses is whether the new government will suspend the controversial debt break – a coalition with the SPD, under a new leadership, might give it the political space to do so. 👉 Renewed fiscal support for the economy may boost growth but is unlikely to significantly change the trajectory of the market. However, new public investments and increased support for energy intensive industries can create some new pockets of opportunities. Capturing them will require close monitoring of fiscal adjustments and ensuring channel partners are well positioned to react to the upcoming spending amendments.

*MENA Market Monitor* – The escalation in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah continues to shape countries across the region, with the former pursuing a consistent and wide-ranging aerial campaign targeting areas across Lebanon. Business implications: 👉 Firms can expect to see a contraction in the Lebanese economy into 2025 as violence intensifies, demand contracts, and sentiment sinks to record-low levels. 👉 A prolonged period of instability is likely to be maintained into Q1 2025 as ongoing tit-for-tat attacks between Iran and Israel are set to begin in the coming weeks. 👉 Elsewhere in the region, other countries remain relatively insulated from the ongoing war; business activity in Saudi Arabia will grow next year, driven by increased incentives, regulatory reforms, and expanding project pipelines. 👉 In parallel, the UAE is set to attract more foreign investments in 2025 due to its progress in providing a business-friendly environment, easing regulations, PPPs, golden visa regime, and favorable infrastructure. 👉 Firms can expect to see ongoing divergence in their MENA portfolios in 2025 as social, political, and economic uncertainties persist.

Zimbabwe’s latest currency will not resolve longstanding FX-related operational challenges. MNCs should plan for further weakening of the currency in 2025. Business implications: 👉 The introduction of a new currency followed by a devaluation will complicate planning and pricing for businesses in Zimbabwe for 2025. 👉 Firms are advised to use the USD as a benchmark for local currency pricing, where possible, to insulate your operations from extreme currency fluctuations and depreciation. 👉 Executives should also align with their local partners in light of the latest developments regarding their ability or lack thereof to access FOREX and financing. Providing financial support to your local partner in the short-term may be needed to overcome financial pressures. 👉 B2C firms are advised to focus on high-income consumers earning in foreign currency to limit your exposure to demand destruction caused by currency woes.

With strategic reforms and a focus on advancing infrastructure, the healthcare landscape in Saudi Arabia is poised for transformation in 2025. Key opportunities will arise from cluster development and the operational independence of healthcare units, even as challenges like localization demands persist. 👉 Significant funding will prioritize healthcare reforms, focusing on cluster development and national health insurance, despite a controlled growth in OPEX and ongoing CAPEX budget restructuring. 👉 The acceleration of healthcare clusters via the gate system will grant them greater operational and financial independence, paving the way for infrastructure development and early formulary inclusion. 👉 To capitalize on public sector opportunities, stakeholders must manage localization demands, ensuring talent, technology, research, and manufacturing are adapted and advanced within the local context.

Trump's victory sparks first tariff threat against Mexico. On November 4, Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on all Mexican products unless Mexico cooperates to stop unauthorized migration and the inflow of illegal drugs. Trump’s new tariff threat was likely a late-campaign electoral tactic. However, it must be taken seriously, since he may use it as a starting point for negotiations in H1 2025. 👉 Tariffs would start at 25% and gradually escalate to 100% if Mexico does not acquiesce with the Trump administration's demands. 👉 While this policy may not be implemented, it presents key risks for MNCs relying on cross-border trade and for Mexico's economic stability. Read our full analysis to find out more about the key risks and opportunities for businesses arising from Trump’s new tariff threat 👇 And don’t forget to sign up to The Lens, our weekly newsletter covering the latest trends and developments impacting business professionals: https://lnkd.in/enkFW7W9 #Trumpvictory #USelection #USMexico #Trumptradetariffs #planning2025
