Investors interested in China’s green transition should focus on the p...

Mexico – Trip Notes

We were in Mexico last week, where we met with central bank officials, independent economists, pension fund managers and corporate representatives. We perceived a sense of cautious optimism.

Trump’s Tariff Flooding Puts Taiwan at the Center of a Supply Chain Cr...

The recent escalation of US tariffs under the second Trump administration is a major blow to Asian, and thereby global, supply chains. But among the many economies affected, Taiwan faces perhaps the most delicate and complex challenge of all.Trump has imposed high import tariffs across Asia—maybe not as high as the reciprocal tariffs announced on April 2, Trump’s self-styled “Liberation Day,” but certainly higher than ever. China tops the list with 30% additional tariffs (around 50% overall when...
