Viewpoint: Year of decision

With the start of a new year often comes the opportunity for unbounded optimism. I decided to look back over some of the previous Moneo columns I have written for the month of January. What occurred to me is that very often the plans we may make in all good faith at the start of the year can be knocked off course by events. This was, of course, never truer than in 2020.

There may well be times when, despite our best endeavours, there is little we can do to influence events but 2024 is one of those years when we all at least have the opportunity to influence things in a larger way than usual.
