A red wave swept over the USA on 5 November 2024 as the Republican Party under former president Donald Trump won the presidential race and claimed a majority in both houses of Congress.

If Trump’s campaign rhetoric is to be believed, then his return to the White House will bring with it a renewed commitment to protectionism, an upheaval of trade norms, and significant implications for economies worldwide.

To discuss these potential implications and explore how a second Trump presidency will reshape global trade, finance, and geopolitical dynamics, Trade Finance Global spoke with Rebecca Harding, Economist at Rebeccanomics; Robert Besseling, CEO at Pangea Risk; Alisa DiCaprio, former Chief Economist at R3; and Simon Everett, Trade Policy Expert on the day the results were announced.

As global supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions continue to impact trade routes, boardroom discussions are also changing. Corporate insolvencies are yet to return to pre-pandemic rates in the UK and other major economies, and inflation remaining high. Meanwhile, businesses are starting to redefine success beyond just financial performance.

How will the future workforce navigate the evolving trade and credit landscape? Beyond shareholder value, how can large financial institutions, credit insurers, and multilaterals address their social responsibilities? How do we manage systemic risks while supporting the communities involved in global trade?

As part of our C-Suite Leadership Series, Deepesh Patel, Editorial Director at Trade Finance Global (TFG) spoke with Angela Duca, Global Specialty Head, Credit Specialties at Marsh, to help answer some of these and other pressing questions.
