Asian economies are set to face an uncertain 2025 as they grapple with domestic challenges and "America First" policies under the Donald Trump administration. This is reflected in the weakening of many Asian currencies against a stronger U.S. dollar. We’ll be speaking with Khoon Goh, Head of Asia Research at ANZ Bank, about what these developments mean for economies in Asia and their respective monetary policies.
