Investment Highlights to Watch in 2021

    In 2020, the year stolen by the pandemic, the world economy has experienced a major rebound led by China, global inflation is rolling in, and global financial markets are turbulent.

    In the new year, the pandemic is still spreading. The international market and major financial institutions are actively responding to the impact of the pandemic, as well as those global political transformations. There are several investments highlights we can pay attention to:

    Green Recovery: The pandemic and the global economic crisis have spawned a more than $3 trillion green recovery plan, which is certainly good news for the renewable energy industry. For example, the impact of the Biden administration's infrastructure plans possibly helps NextEra Energy, the leading US wind and photovoltaic power generation company.

    Post-pandemic recovery: Tourism, real estate and energy sector performance will improve or decline as the economy recovers from the shock of the pandemic.

    Digitalization: Except for telecom and e-commerce companies less affected by the outbreak, some cloud security software, hardware and digital payments companies are expected to see growth in 2021. Cisco, for example, will benefit from its commitment to software upgrades. PayPal, the leading player in the digital wallet market, can also maintain growth of more than 20%.
