At Extreme Investor Network, we understand the importance of staying informed about global economic trends, especially during what is being referred to as a “super election year.” With over 60 countries holding national elections, the outcome of these elections can significantly impact the economy on a global scale.
According to a recent report by Principal Financial Group, voters around the world are prioritizing a healthy economy when selecting their representatives. However, despite a positive economic environment, many people have developed a negative perception of the overall economic landscape, leading to what is known as a “vibecession.”
Interestingly, this disconnect between perception and reality does not seem to be affecting how people are investing their money. Dan Houston, Chairman and CEO of Principal Financial Group, revealed that their 10 million plan participants are staying the course and holding onto their well-diversified portfolios, even in the midst of a vibecession.
At Extreme Investor Network, we believe that staying informed about global economic trends and understanding how political events can impact financial markets is crucial for successful investing. While the U.S. may be “treading water” in terms of financial inclusion, other countries are making significant strides through digital financial transactions and enhanced financial literacy.
As we look ahead to 2025, the outcome of elections and the policies that follow will play a key role in the financial inclusion of consumers worldwide.
