Geopolitics play an important role in shaping the global economy and local markets.  

The new U.S. administration, and its proposed agenda, raises the potential for significant shifts in the geopolitical landscape and may heighten cross-border tensions and create new market risks and opportunities globally.  

During this webinar, we will explore how the new U.S. administration could potentially reshape the world order, from trade conflicts and strategic alliances to issues such as national security, energy and global supply chains, including discussion on: 

  • Protectionist policies and their influence on international trade. 
  • Changes in key U.S. alliances, including NATO, China, Russia and Latin America. 
  • Impacts on key sectors such as technology, energy and defense that may trigger market volatility. 
  • How companies, governments, and individuals can adapt and build resilience. 

Join us for an insightful session and learn how geopolitical risks might impact global and local markets. 

This meeting will be hosted in Spanish.
