ET GBS: How to craft strategies for navigating economic challenges the world is facing

Mumbai: Thought leaders, economists and academics will come together at the ET Now Global Business Summit this week to craft strategies for navigating economic challenges that the world is facing.

The two-day summit will take place at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi on February 9-10. The day two will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers. PM Narendra Modi is the star speaker on the first day of the summit.

Throughline Inc. principal business strategist Thomas PM Barnett will offer insights on global economic trends and business strategies. Barnett has an extensive background in formulating and executing business strategies, and his insights can help businesses navigate the complex modern economic landscape.

NYU Stern School of Business' dean Raghu Sundaram will be bringing a wealth of knowledge on potential solutions grounded in both theoretical depth and practical wisdom.

Michael Spence, Nobel laureate in economics, will be providing groundbreaking perspectives on economic theory and policy, while former World Trade Organization director general Roberto Azevedo will shed light on the role of global trade in addressing economic challenges.

Azevedo can provide crucial insights at a time when globalisation seems to be faltering and the World Trade Organization is struggling for relevance. As a leading advocate for rethinking paradigms, Robert Johnson, president, Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), will speak about identifying blind spots in the mainstream economy and building a just and equitable society.

The summit promises to be a hub of intellectual exchange, fostering collaborative solutions to global economic challenges. The global economy is struggling with high inflation, elevated interest rates, and complexities of the two regional wars.
