Prospects: a Turbulent 2025

Every year at Oxford Analytica, we publish our Prospects series, which assesses forecasts for core countries, regions, and topics in the year ahead. Join Oxford Analytica’s conference call on December 11, where our team of analysts will share some core forecasts and identify key turning points for 2025, as well as taking your questions.

The major conflicts that marked 2024 continue to burn, US-China rivalry shows no sign of abating and the COP29 summit underscored a huge gap between developed and developing states on questions of climate action and financing.

Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency on January 20 promises to be followed in short order by a further hiking of tariffs, deportations and other actions to stem immigration and other steps aiming to change the terms of trade between the United States and the rest of the world. Yet there is considerable uncertainty over the targets and extent of these measures, and for how long they will endure.

The interplay of longer-running tensions with potential short-term disruptions promises to make 2025 a particularly turbulent year, albeit one with opportunities for states in Asia and Africa.

This is a public webinar open to those navigating complex markets and assessing risk in the year ahead and those who are in foreign and defence ministries, intelligence agencies, as well as senior executives and those involved in government affairs, legal services and finance, public policy.

Each session is supported by a background briefing curated by our team of expert analysts who produce our flagship publication, the Oxford Analytica Daily Brief. These in-depth briefings are circulated to attendees in advance of each call and are available as written articles published in the Daily Brief.
