How will monetary policy take shape? Bob Diamond, CEO of Atlas Merchant Capital, made remarks during a program. Bob Diamond: "I believe that mid-sized companies in the U.S. truly benefit from less regulation, a more business-friendly, and innovation-oriented environment. However, we face significant challenges—such as tariffs, the impact of immigration on the labor market, and high energy prices. From the perspective of the Fed and the markets, we anticipate that interest rates will remain higher for much longer than expected, and the effects of this will persist. Every dollar spent on investment translates into income for individuals or businesses. On the other hand, when we look at the Gulf region, we know that countries are under considerable stress due to the situation with Iran."
