About this listen

Welcome to the first episode of The Financial Fix Podcast in 2025! Hosts Riz Malik and John Chong are back after a short break, ready to break down the latest financial news and market trends in a way that actually makes sense in under 30 minutes.

In this episode, Riz and John dive straight into the biggest topics shaking up global markets, starting with the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs. Will they fuel inflation, or could there be an unexpected upside? They debate both sides of the argument and what it could mean for consumers and businesses alike.

Closer to home, they tackle the UK economy—will financial deregulation be the key to unlocking growth, or is it just another misguided policy move? With the Bank of England’s first rate decision of the year looming, the duo also discuss the likelihood of a rate cut and its potential impact on mortgage borrowers, businesses, and economic confidence.

And finally, could a UK Sovereign Wealth Fund be the answer to long-term economic security? Or is it just political fantasy? The team shares their insights.

Join Riz and John for a sharp, insightful, and sometimes brutally honest take on finance and economics in 2025. Subscribe now and stay ahead of the curve!
