Watching the Horizon

Geopolitical risk was a major driver of financial markets in 2022. Soaring inflation driven by conflict in Ukraine prompted major central banks including the Federal Reserve to embark on a historic string of rate hikes - at their fastest pace since the 1980s. How will geopolitics play out in 2023 and what surprises will it bring? In this dialogue session, Professor Kishore Mahbubani and Professor David Daokui Li discuss the complexities and challenges for our world, covering key questions on US-China tensions, possible outcomes for the war in Ukraine and key risks in the year ahead. Speakers: Professor Kishore Mahbubani Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore Professor David Daokui Li Director, Academic Center for Chinese Economic Practice and Thinking, Tsinghua University Moderated by Mansoor Mohi-uddin Chief Economist, Bank of Singapore
