Trump's Impact on the Eurozone and Sri Lanka's Economic Outlook

We discuss Eurozone challenges under Trump and his Treasury picks. Plus, can Sri Lanka’s president fulfil his economic promises?

We analyse the potential economic challenges the Trump administration could bring to the Eurozone, with forecasts already downgraded by the European Commission. Carsten Brzeski, chief Eurozone economist at ING Bank, offers his analysis on what this could mean for the region's future.

We also explore the race for the next U.S. Treasury Secretary and what it signals for future U.S. policy, with insights from Sylvan Lane, Business Editor at The Hill.

Finally, we turn to Sri Lanka, where President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s decisive election victory raises hopes for sweeping economic reforms. Shanta Devarajan, a professor at Georgetown University and former World Bank senior official, provides a closer look at the challenges and opportunities facing the country.
