About
The global economy in 2026 stands at a crossroads: boom, bust, or breakthrough? This session examines the pivotal forces shaping the year ahead. We will analyse the direction of U.S. interest rates as a new Federal Reserve leadership takes the helm after Jerome Powell’s term ends, exploring whether policy shifts toward faster easing or sustained caution. We will assess the far-reaching impact of evolving tariff policies and intensifying trade tensions on global supply chains and inflation. Attention will turn to China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, with its bold emphasis on technological self-reliance, cutting-edge innovation, and sustainable green growth amid domestic challenges.
