US Elections and Financial Implications

Much is at stake in the United States presidential elections this year. The Barack Obama presidency has been fraught with battles in a deeply divided Congress, leading to paralyses on such topics as government debt, and compromises on others such as healthcare reform.

Should Obama lose his re-election bid, it will likely lead to a change in policy direction - and economic fate. Obama and his opponent, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, have different visions on the role of government in business and society.

Polls indicate a tight race on November 6.
