Economic Security Watch
by fDi Intelligence
Economic security is an emerging concept with fluid boundaries and lacking a clear definition. Economic security is national security. It’s an idea being embraced by leaders across the world, though some have been following this philosophy for decades. Big change is happening in liberal economies that have long prided themselves on open borders and frictionless trade, scrutiny and protectionist thinking they’ve dealt defence industries is now being applied across to critical minerals, semiconductors and many other sectors of the economy. fDi Intelligence's Economic Security Watch podcast keeps you in the know as investors navigate a world increasingly viewed through a national security lens. Episodes will be delivered monthly, corresponding to our Economic Security newsletter. Sign up to the podcast her
