Welcome 2024!
As we step into this year, we face a world filled with economic uncertainties and geopolitical conflicts.
A record-breaking number of countries, representing more than 40% of the world’s population and over 50% of global GDP, are due to hold national elections in 2024. Their outcomes will help shape new geopolitical landscapes and alliances, including cooperation on global issues such as climate change.
These elections include some of the most powerful nations in the world, such as the US, India, the EU and the UK; some of the weakest, such as South Sudan; despotic ones, such as Russia and Iran; tense democracies, such as Taiwan and Ukraine; and, finally, South Africa. Some will be free and open, some not.
But as we always say, with challenges come opportunities. RNC Personal Actuarial Advisors will be keeping a close eye on these events to ensure your investments not only stay secure, but that they thrive.
