The Big Questions: How will the geopolitical landscape shape the economy longer term?

In this episode of The Big Questions, John Briggs and NatWest Group International Advisor Scott Livingstone reflect on a wide range of geopolitical flashpoints and the potential impact on the economy longer term. As we pass an inauspicious milestone, the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how will the war evolve from here and what are the potential implications for energy markets? With tensions between China and the US rising on a range of fronts, where will geopolitical security and economic policy remain bound together and where will they decouple — and what could that mean for global supply chains? How might shifting political tides in the Middle East affect global foreign policy towards the region? And, could Pakistan be the setting for the next Black Swan geopolitical event?
