2025: The year of consequences

2024 was the year of elections - where half the world’s population lived in countries that went to the polls. The results were seismic - with many incumbents being thrown out and Donald Trump back in the White House. 2025 will be the year of consequences - where the impact of these elections is felt on the key issues facing business from geopolitics to sustainability, the FGS Global Radar provides a comprehensive analysis.

Based on a nationally representative poll of the UK public and over 70+ in-depth conversations with leading experts including top politicians, senior ministers, C-suite executives, board members of blue-chip and FTSE companies, and leading editors and commentators, the FGS Global Radar provides unparalleled insights into critical areas shaping 2025.

Key Findings

This will be a defining year for President Trump and his administration. Our experts overwhelmingly agree that this time Trump is committed to delivering on his ambitious agenda. His influence is expected to have far-reaching effects on the global economy, international relations, sustainability, technology, and culture.

This year's report also explores:

  • The generational divide across all sectors.

  • The divisiveness of elected parties and their ability to deliver post-election.

  • Productivity, inflation, cost of living, and the viability of London as a financial hub.

  • ESG commitments and the feasibility of financing the climate transition.

  • AI regulation and its workforce implications.

  • Evolving responsibilities of businesses towards their employees and the future of work.
