World Business Report

Available for over a year

The world's largest economy is growing at 2.8% - a rate which will be seen as encouraging in an uncertain domestic climate, and amid even more turbulent market conditions. Devina Gupta unpicks the puzzle with a panel of experts worldwide, including former Biden administration advisor Michael Linden, and Emma Wall, Head of Investment Analysis & Research at Hargreaves Lansdown. Also on the programme: Japan's deepening population problem, and the reality of running a business without a power supply in Venezuela.
