THE GLOBAL SHAKE-UP

Where will the pieces fall?




After a turbulent few years, global economies have seen old patterns shatter. As new dynamics take shape, what actions can investors take now will have the most impact on the future? This year’s Amundi World Investment Forum examines the puzzle, tries to filter out the noise and assesses how policymakers, financial services and investors can rise to meet the challenges ahead.  

Plenary Sessions

WHERE WILL THE PIECES FALL?

From Brexit fallout and dependence on China and Russia to a desynchronisation between the Fed and the ECB, can current challenges yield long-term solutions?

GEOPOLITICS

Has the Ukraine crisis ushered in a new era of armed conflict? What implications do politicised cooperation and ultra-fragmented supply chains carry for global trade relationships?

THE ASIAN GIANTS: CHINA AND INDIA

Two global economic superpowers, two models for growth and government. What does the future hold for China and India, both at home and on the international stage?

INEQUALITY

The need to address inequalities is greater than ever. How do different groups perceive inequalities and who is responsible for taking action?

ENERGY TRANSITION

Transition to Net Zero is critical for all, but progress as well as needs vary widely across developed and emerging markets, with some regions seeing vocal pushback against ESG. Have recent events helped or hindered the transition to a more just and sustainable world?

INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS

Technology, a game changer, or an enabler of ‘financialisation’? Is digital technology transforming politics and society as fast as it seems, and what role will it play for investors?

ANOTHER CYCLE, SAME STORY?

Following the radical reset of our global economic environment, are existing models a solid foundation for future action, or are the rules being rewritten?
