Positive Indicators for Emerging Markets

Emerging markets showed resilience in 2024, with disinflation trends and stronger-than-expected growth driving positive macroeconomic conditions. This resilience sets the stage for a more promising outlook in 2025, suggesting that emerging market assets could perform well amidst a backdrop of reduced inflation and stable growth. However, potential risks from upcoming U.S. elections and policy shifts cannot be ignored, especially those associated with the incoming administration's trade and immigration policies. The outlook emphasizes that while there are encouraging indicators, the uncertainty surrounding these political developments poses significant challenges ahead.
