A Year After U.S. Elections: Impact on Global Economy and Markets

Thursday, September 11, 2025 | 9:20–11:00 a.m. MT

Program Description

Under the new Trump administration, policies around tariffs, deregulation, immigration, and taxation are already having a material impact on the outlook for the global economy and financial markets. Projected economic growth is being downgraded, capital spending plans are being delayed, and M&A and IPO activity is stalling. Businesses are facing heightened uncertainty, creating challenges on planning for the future, which makes estimating future cash flows ever more difficult.

Join Carla Nunes and James Harrington (both of Kroll) as they deliver a global economic and financial market update, and discuss the related impact on cost of capital assumptions and valuation analyses.
