Marcelo Carvalho- Trump Policies & Macro Implications

Marcelo Carvalho’s Speech Topics

  • Global Macroeconomic Outlook Amid Shifting Geopolitics

    • Shifting US policies under Trump create a new global trade and geopolitical landscape.
    • How can fiscal and monetary policies respond? How will central banks cope with the new environment?
    • Prospects for growth, inflation, interest rates, currencies, and investment flows.
  • European Business Outlook: Navigating the New Reality

    • Strategic guidance for European corporates navigating shifting US policies and geopolitical realignment.
    • Tensions in the transatlantic relation under Trump, and a balancing act regarding China, but new opportunities too. 
    • Europe struggles for strategic autonomy amid U.S. pressure and internal divisions.
  • Emerging Markets: Challenges and Opportunities in a Brave New World

    • US policies under Trump are reshaping the international landscape.
    • Shifting global macro and geopolitical drivers create risks but also opportunities for Emerging Markets.
    • Building a new global architecture with BRICS? What role can BRICS economies play in the new global economy?
  • Trump Policies: Geopolitical and Macro Implications for the Global Economy

    • Tariffs are back—and not just as a Trump policy.


    The trade war signals a bigger shift: goodbye free trade orthodoxy, hello economic nationalism. 


    • Trade wars are easy to start, messy to win.


    Short-term political gains, long-term global headaches. Think slower growth, fractured supply chains, rising inflation risks—and more boardroom uncertainty everywhere.


    • America is stepping back from global leadership.


    Under Trump, the U.S. pivoted from “we lead: global cooperation” to “we deal: what’s in it for us?” That mindset is reshaping geopolitics just as much as economics.

  • Supply-Chain Fragmentation & Trade Policy Shocks

    • From Just-in-Time to Just-in-Case: The New Global Supply Chain Playbook
    • The rise of geopolitically driven trade distortions—tariff escalation, supply reshoring, and trade restrictions — is reshaping global trade dynamics.
    • Vulnerabilities exposed in energy sourcing, tech dependencies, and policy volatility are central to today’s macro-strategy debates 
    • Reshoring, near-shoring, friendly-shoring: re-thinking global supply chains.
