Join us on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CET for a live-streamed event dedicated to decoding the challenges of the months ahead. From geopolitical shifts to economic trends, we’ll explore key risks across political, social, and sectoral landscapes.
2024: A year of surprises
Last year witnessed pivotal moments, from unexpected election outcomes, like Donald Trump's re-election, to economic shifts that aligned more closely with forecasts. While the U.S. economy shows signs of deceleration and Europe begins to see cautious recovery, inflationary pressures appear to have eased—for now. However, the fragmentation of the global order, along with climate change and demographic shifts, continues to shape uncertainties for 2025.
What to expect in 2025?
At this year's conference, a distinguished panel of Coface economists and global experts will analyze the most pressing issues and their implications for businesses worldwide. Together, we’ll examine economic resilience, the geopolitical landscape, and structural challenges such as energy transition and demographic shifts.
