Navigating the complexities of today’s geopolitical landscape presents significant risks for businesses, ranging from escalating tensions to economic instability. Proactive organisations are prioritizing the understanding and management of these evolving risks to strengthen their operations and build lasting resilience. 

Join our subject matter experts as they discuss the current geopolitical risk environment, and the implications for local financial institutions, including:

  • Increased fragmentation and a move away from a unipolar world order
  • Heightened competition between major powers
  • Overall market and economic impacts 
  • Increased overlap of technology with geopolitics
  • The biggest geopolitical tail risks for financial markets in 2025
