The New Economic Order
What's next for global resilience?
The global economy entered 2026 with renewed momentum, supported by investment in artificial intelligence, resilient labour markets and improving business confidence. However, a series of geopolitical shocks during the year, culminating in the conflict involving Israel, the United States and Iran, tested that optimism and highlighted the interconnected nature of today's global economy. Energy markets, supply chains and investor confidence have all been affected, reinforcing the importance of resilience in an increasingly uncertain environment.
This Financial Times executive dinner, hosted in partnership with Mashreq, will bring together senior banking executives, government representatives, regulators and investors on the sidelines of the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok. Through insights from leading economists and discussion among senior decision-makers, the evening will examine the lessons emerging from a year of global disruption and explore how to strengthen resilience while positioning their institutions for long-term growth.
