Following a landmark year of major elections in 2024, global markets have experienced heightened volatility and investor uncertainty. The <\/a>International Monetary Fund (IMF)<\/a>, among other reputable sources, has reported increased fluctuations in capital flows and asset prices, driven in part by geopolitical shifts and policy uncertainties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elections, in key regions including in the United States and the European Parliament, have further intensified unpredictability into an international economy already grappling with geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures. In response to the growing demand for stable, well-regulated jurisdictions, the Isle of Man Indaba will return to South Africa in March 2025 for its sixth edition under the theme \u201cGlobal Business, Local Stability: The Isle of Man\u2019s role in mitigating risk in a complex world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organised as a roadshow across six major cities \u2013 Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Stellenbosch, and George \u2013 the event will feature eight leading Isle of Man companies from the finance, legal, investment, and government sectors Participating firms include Appleby Global, Atla Group, Boston Multi Family Office, Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, Finance Isle of Man, ILS World, Ramsey Crookall and Resilience Asset Management, alongside Isle of Man entrepreneur Kevin Ballard.
