This webinar gives attendees an update on the global economy, where it is at and where it is going, with a focus on some of the long-term implications of the current crisis. “The end of the rise in populism” This key-note speech expertly delivered by economist and financial sector expert Sony Kapoor covers some of the key trends impacting the world we operate in. While COVID-19, BREXIT and Donald Trump are rightly mentioned, Sony ends his session on a positive note, emphasizing some of the encouraging changes we are seeing as a result of COVID-19. Examples include how the crisis has turbo-charged discussions around inequality and key workers, how COVID-19 has forced us to take a look at the legitimacy of our business models in the context of wider society, how it has accelerated the tech revolution, the diversification of supply chains – but most importantly, how it spells the end to the rise of populism.

We have created a series of GC interviews, to inform this event series and the webinar I […]
