Southeast Asia's Appeal Post-COVID

Southeast Asia is considered a prime destination for expats looking for stability and quality of life after the upheaval caused by COVID-19. The region has largely escaped the severe impacts of lockdowns and restrictions seen in the West, making it an attractive option for those seeking to relocate. Countries like Malaysia and Thailand exhibit efficient infrastructure, affordability, and a welcoming atmosphere for foreigners, providing a stark contrast to the psychological scars felt in many Western nations. With a reputation for being physically safe and cost-effective, these countries are recommended for anyone interested in establishing a foothold abroad.

Well, I may not have a crystal ball, but I do have my good friend Doug Casey, who I welcome back once again this year to peer into his crystal ball and share what he sees coming in the world of geopolitics and international investing in 2025. Doug is the founder of International Man, a best-selling author known for his High Ground novel series, and a world-renowned speculator and libertarian philosopher.
