This year’s Amundi World Investment Forum will explore the reset of world dynamics underway – and how to adjust. Geopolitics and economics now interact in new ways with wide ranging effects, limiting coordinated responses, including to ever-more pressing climate issues. This new landscape calls for keen vision from decisionmakers and investors. Meanwhile, technological transformations, driven by the need for productivity and personalisation, have worldwide social and economic implications.
