Furthermore, the country is committed to sustainability, with a strong focus on renewable energy and the circular economy, reflecting a 50 per cent increase in R&D investment over the past five years (Eurostat, 2024). Economic diversification, with growth sectors such as biotechnology and health, is another strategic priority.

🌍 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 The economic choices you make today are influenced by events happening on the other side of the globe. For example, since the war in Ukraine, the MSCI World Equity Index has fallen by more than 10%, while oil prices have risen by more than 50%. Geopolitical risk, as indicated by the VIX index, has increased significantly. #Inflation is another major concern: in the US, it reached 8.6% in May 2023, the highest in 40 years, and in the #Eurozone it rose to 8.1%, the highest in 25 years. This led to negative real yields on government #bonds in many countries. In addition, the Federal Reserve raised the fed #funds rate by 0.75 percentage points in July 2023, the largest hike since 1994, and the European Central Bank ended its asset purchase programme, with rates rising. Global economic losses related to climate change could reach USD 14 trillion by 2050, while the elderly population is growing rapidly, increasing the demand for specific financial services. #Financial #advisors are responding to these challenges through the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, improved specialist skills in areas such as sustainable #finance, and collaboration with experts in economics, geopolitics and climate. These adaptations allow them to offer clients more informed and tailored strategies, effectively addressing global uncertainties.. . . . #GeopoliticalRisk #GlobalEconomic #FinancialAdvisors #FinancialChallenges #FinancialStructure #FinancialRegulation #FinancialAdvice #GovernmentBonds #FinancialServices
