2024 was marked by a series of unprecedented, and in some cases fatal, airplane incidents that captured headlines around the world.

Despite these incidents, the International Air Transport Association predicts strong growth for air transport in 2025, with US$36.6 billion in net profits, driven by lower fuel costs and efficiency gains. However, supply chain disruptions, aging fleets, and geopolitical issues remain major challenges.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Brendan Sobie, Analyst & Founder of Sobie Aviation shares his insights.

Bigger Pic: Why APAC investors should not overlook MENA

Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged "more proactive" macroeconomic policies.

In a New Year's address, President Xi made a rare acknowledgment of the flagging economy while reiterating the government’s growth targets.

Despite a slew of aggressive measures unveiled by Beijing in a bid to bolster growth in recent months, economists have warned that more direct fiscal stimulus aimed at shoring up domestic consumption is needed to restore full health in China's economy.

What’s in store for the world’s second largest economy as they face the prospect of squaring off with President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to impose tariffs on foreign goods?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Lim Tai Wei, Professor of Business at Soka University shares his insights.
