2024 is brimming with significant elections globally. The EU and Mexican elections are just two of over 50 expected to take place in what has been described as the biggest election year in history, and the results will prove consequential for many years to come.
As such, we are teaming up with Chamber Patron Signum Global to host a technical roundtable which will delve into how these elections will impact the future direction of the EU and Mexico.
Operating at the intersection of policy and global markets, Signum Global is an independent advisory firm best equipped to anticipate and assess policy agendas to ensure businesses are better prepared to navigate increasing macro and geopolitical volatility with greater clarity and certainty.
Exclusive to Patron and Benefactor Members of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, this session, delivered by Senior Analysts and Partners at Signum Global Advisors, will cover:
EU Elections
Will there be a real rise in populist parties on the right, following recent gains?
What impact will the election results have on EU policymaking (and what sectors will be most affected by the results)?
Mexico Elections
Is Sheinbaum’s victory assured, or is there room for an electoral upset?
How likely is the new President to secure a supermajority in Congress?
How will the election results transform Mexico’s policy environment?
Date & Time: Tuesday 23rd April, 14:30 (for a 15:00 start) – 16:00
Location: Hybrid – Online or at Signum Global’s London Office | 33 St James’s Square | St. James’s | London SW1Y 4JS
