LONDON :– While the USA and the UK recorded relatively modest declines in inflation rates, the Euro Area continues to grapple with a gradual rise. Overall growth remains hampered by geopolitical tensions, unsteady trade alliances, and extreme climate events. Additionally, election-year peculiarities continue to drive a slowdown in economic activity in key nations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, with individuals and institutions watching their political scenes closely as a key metric in spending and investment decision.
Major central banks, forced by mixed economic indicators, opted for a more cautious, steady approach than investors expected. This quelled initial optimism for summer rate cuts and increased market jitters.
Despite all this, energy, technology, sustainability, and ESG-driven initiatives remain key drivers of interest and growth. In the second edition of 2024, Pan Finance Magazine’s cover story explores the need to measure and improve the true impact of conventional investment models on real people, especially beyond city centres. Likewise, in the over xxx pages of thought-provoking and informative content that follow, we delve into the impact of climate conditions on market movements; we explore the LSE and its recurring loss to the US; and we examine the record plunge of the Japanese yen and what it says about the true state of her economy.
Furthermore, Pan Finance continues to shine a spotlight on a variety of topics by highlighting leading examples of best practice across the financial services sector and beyond. Established to be a true measure of excellence, the Pan Finance awards look beyond the realm of the balance sheet alone, measuring success through innovation, stewardship of the environment and positive impact on society.
