Wading Through The Tariff Storm

  • The recent implementation of reciprocal tariffs by President Trump has raised concerns for global businesses, with Malaysia facing a significant 24% tariff. This move is expected to shift investment strategies as companies navigate rising protectionism and uncertainty in trade policies. Jayant Menon, Visiting Senior Fellow at the Regional Economic Studies Programme, ISEAS- Yusof Ishak Institute, shares his insights on how these tariffs will impact global supply chains, trade relations, and business strategies moving forward.
