Geopolitical Risks and the New World Order / Swiss Risk Award 2022

Geopolicital Risks and the New World Order

Pandemic and the war in Ukraine have massively changed the geopolitical and economic landscape. Are these changes lasting or will the spook disappear again? How will sanctions impact Europe and Switzerland? What do energy markets look like in the future? Has inflation come to stay? How far can central banks increase interest rates without jeopardizing growth? Many questions requiring an evidence-based analysis.
