Donald Trump's election and the announcements made since are sending shockwaves around the world. The leadership transition in Washington DC will have far-reaching ripple effects, influencing global economic and political dynamics. Key considerations include changes in US monetary policy, potential tariff hikes and their effect on other currencies. Domestically, the rupee, which was stable for much of last year, saw a sharp depreciation in December. 

At recent India CFO Forum sessions across the country, Manoj Goel, Managing Director & Head of Corporate Sales, Markets & Securities Services for HSBC India, examined the impact of Mr Trump’s presidency, global currency trends, the Rupee’s outlook under new RBI leadership and key priorities for CFOs in the coming year. This podcast summarises these discussions.
