THE ECONOMY 2025: WASHINGTON, WALL STREET, AND THE WORLD – WHO STANDS TO WIN, WHO STANDS TO LOSE?

For the first time in decades, regardless of which political party wins, the White House, Washington and Wall Street might find themselves at odds over critical economic policies. This situation potentially places Main Street in a difficult position. On one side, there are ...

For the first time in decades, regardless of which political party wins, the White House, Washington and Wall Street might find themselves at odds over critical economic policies. This situation potentially places Main Street in a difficult position. On one side, there are proposals for across-the-board tariffs and mass deportations; on the other, there are capital-damaging tax hikes, and both sides are proposing deficit-increasing budgets. The federal government may wield more influence over the economy than a “friendly” Federal Reserve for the first time in years.

The first year of a new presidency always brings uncertainty, and 2025 will likely be no different for markets, the economy as a whole, and, perhaps more importantly, for specific sectors and regions that could be affected by upcoming policy and political changes. Ron Insana outlines the potential for profits and pitfalls, risks and rewards, and gains and losses in the year ahead – domestically and globally. What happens in 2025 may well shape the economy and markets for decades to come. Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience on topics such as:

  • Central Banks: Have They Risked a Recession to Fight Inflation?
  • De-Globalization & De-Dollarization: Fact and Friction?
  • Geo-Politics: 5 Hot Spots to Watch Around the World
  • The AI Revolution: From Infrastructure to Implementation\
  • Battling Climate Change: Big Business versus Mass Migration
  • The Culture Wars: What’s the Economic Cost of Societal Change?

About Keynote Speaker Ron Insana

In the midst of the chaotic forces impacting business and the economy, Ron Insana delivers clear insights business leaders and financial professionals can use to make smarter decisions. A pioneer in television financial news reporting, Ron is currently senior analyst and commentator at CNBC. He also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a daily nationally syndicated radio program. As CEO of iFi AI, an AI-powered stock research platform created in partnership with IBM watsonx, Ron has a front row seat to the transformative AI revolution. He is also founder and CEO of The Insana Entertainment Group, a film and TV production company. Ron is author of four books on investing and financial markets dynamics. In his speeches, Ron makes sense of the business, economic, technological, and political news – distilling it into actionable insights his audience can use to navigate change, protect what they have, and spot fresh opportunities. Besides keynoting, he is also an outstanding moderator and interviewer.

Ron’s career in financial reporting was a total accident. He had graduated from college with a degree in film production when a producer friend at the Financial News Network hired him on as a freelance producer in 1984. FNN was the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news. One day in 1985 the network’s only two anchors got sick on the same day and Ron found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. That launched Ron’s financial broadcasting career. When the Financial
News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron became a regular anchor there and a frequent presence on other NBC News shows.

Ron was named one of the “Top 100 Business News Journalists of the 20th Century” and was nominated for a news and documentary Emmy for his role in NBC’s coverage of 9/11.

His four books on investing include: TrendWatching: Don’t Be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania, or Bubble; The Message of the Markets: How Financial Markets Foretell the Future–and How You Can Profit from Their Guidance; Traders’ Tales: A Chronicle of Wall Street Myths, Legends, and Outright Lies; and How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History: A Guide to the 7 Greatest Bargains from Main Street to Wall Street.

Ron is a highly regarded speaker on domestic and global economics, financial markets, economic policy issues, and technology trends impacting business. He graduated with honors from California State University at Northridge.
