🎙️Electric car sales went crazy in 2024, with over 17 million sold worldwide! That’s more than 20% of all car sales. Just the extra 3.5 million electric cars sold in 2024 compared to last year is more than the total number of electric cars sold in 2020.

🎙️China still has the biggest market, with electric cars making up almost half of all car sales in 2024. Last year, China sold over 11 million electric cars, which is more than the global sales just 2 years ago.

🎙️Because electric car sales are still growing so fast, 1 in 10 cars on Chinese roads is now electric. In Europe, sales slowed down a bit in 2024 because some subsidy schemes and other helpful policies didn’t work as well as they used to.

🎙️India has unexpectedly become a key target in Washington's latest push to pressure Russia over the Ukraine war.

🎙️On Wednesday, Donald Trump doubled US tariffs on India to 50%, up from 25%, penalising Delhi for purchasing Russian oil - a move India called "unfair" and "unjustified". The tariffs aim to cut Russia's oil revenues and force Putin into a ceasefire. The new rate will come into effect in 21 days, so on 27 August.

🎙️This makes India the most heavily taxed US trading partner in Asia and places it alongside Brazil, another nation facing steep US tariffs amid tense relations.

🎙️India’s warehousing sector is going through a major transformation. It’s moving from old industrial spaces to more sustainable logistics infrastructure. This isn’t just about changing the buildings, it’s about how we think about the future of logistics in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

🎙️This report comes at a key time when global supply chains are changing, rules are evolving, and companies are making sustainability commitments. India is projected to double its warehousing stock by 2030, so the decisions we make today about how this infrastructure is built will affect us for years to come.

🎙️The deal will mean that US importers will pay 15% “reciprocal” tariffs on Japanese goods that are shipped to the US. But here’s the important part for Japan: the 15% rate will also apply to cars and car parts. This puts Japan ahead of other major vehicle exporters that have been hit with a 25% levy on automotive sector exports since April.

🎙️ Southeast Asia is becoming a major manufacturing hub, and logistics companies are taking notice. Here’s a look at how global trade is changing in the region.

🎙️The global supply chain is always evolving, with manufacturers around the world trying to reduce risks, build resilience, manage costs, and explore new markets for production. As many manufacturers want to rely less on a single source of supplies, Southeast Asia is becoming a major manufacturing hub, and you can see this in the changes in production in the region.

🎙️The Q1 2025 Real Estate Sentiment Index reflects a market recalibrating to external pressures while maintaining long-term optimism. Despite moderated sentiment scores, both current and future scores remain optimistic, indicating resilience. Residential activity stabilizes, especially in high-ticket segments, while the office market remains strong. Supportive policy moves and improving infrastructure momentum boost stakeholders’ cautious confidence in sustained growth across India’s real estate landscape in the coming quarters.

🎙️The first half of 2025 has been a rollercoaster ride in the global economy, with markets shifting and investors playing it safe. While the basic economic stuff is still there, the investment world is in a bit of a holding pattern, caught between political, monetary, and currency changes.

🎙️One big thing that happened was Donald Trump came back to the US presidency. The early stuff from the new administration suggests they might bring back protectionist measures, like putting tariffs on Chinese and other emerging market stuff. These ideas are still in the planning stage, but they’ve already caused a lot of trouble in global trade. Investors are starting to think twice about investing in export-focused markets and the global supply chains that go with them.

🎙️The housing market in India’s big cities saw a huge jump in demand in 2025. Primary housing sales reached a record ₹6,69,202 crore, showing that people are really looking to buy homes. NCR was the top revenue generator, making up 25% of the total, followed by MMR at 24%. But here’s the thing: new housing projects haven’t been as popular in the past two years. The number of units sold went up by about 18%, from around 4.20 lakh units in 2022 to 4.95 lakh units in 2025. This difference between how much money was made and how many units were sold means that the average price of a house went up a lot. In 2022, the average price was ₹81 lacs, but in 2025, it was ₹1.35 crore.

🎙️Whether the world is already multipolar, or will ever be, is debatable, but the world’s “multipolarization” is a fact: On the one hand, power is shifting toward a larger number of actors who have the ability to influence key global issues. On the other hand, the world is experiencing increasing polarization both between and within many states.

🎙️The Munich Security Report 2025 analyzes the far-reaching consequences of the multipolarization of the international order. For many politicians and citizens around the globe, a more multipolar world holds significant promise. But recent trends suggest that the negative effects of greater multipolarity are prevailing as divides between major powers grow and competition among different order models stands in the way of joint approaches to global crises and threats. The report therefore makes the case for “depolarization,” highlighting the need for substantial reforms of the international order.
