In 2024, over 60 countries will go to the polls. The global economy, having endured inflation and interest rate challenges, now faces another test from political and policy uncertainty. The outcomes of this year’s elections, which come at a time of heightened political polarization, will affect half the world’s population and GDP. Will newly elected governments tread a path towards ‘deglobalization’ or will they pivot towards ‘reglobalization’? Could electoral complications from cyber risks and AI technology further erode trust in institutions? What should we expect on issues such as climate change and carbon transition? Dr. Atsi Sheth, Chief Credit Officer at Moody’s Investors Service, will share her views, underpinned by Moody’s research on macro, policy, and thematic trends. What does this banner election year mean for the global economy and capital markets in the near and medium term? What are the implications for the insurance industry? Atsi and Colin Holmes will host an interactive Question and Answer session with the audience following the presentation.
