The Return of Geopolitics
Joaquin Kritz Lara
Geopolitics took a back seat as a global macroeconomic driver through much of the post-9/11 period. Yet over the past two years, we have seen a resurgence of armed conflicts and cross-border tensions, with significant implications for the real economy and financial markets. We invite you to join Joaquin Kritz Lara, Chief Economist & Strategist at Numera Analytics, for a discussion on how geopolitical instability shapes the global economic outlook. Joaquin will explore how conflict in the Middle East and the RU/UA War impact global growth and inflation, commodities and the dollar.
