About this Episode

In this episode of Expat Money Matters, we examine the latest economic signals from the UK, US and Canada, including changing interest-rate expectations, Canada’s rising inflation and the approaching US tariff deadline.

We also look at continued shipping disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and revisit three important cross-border planning deadlines: Belgium’s capital gains tax opt-out, Malta’s transitional application rules and the Canary Islands Special Zone registration deadline.

Every situation is different. Residence, nationality, assets, pensions, business interests and future plans can all affect which rules apply.
