Major forces reshaping the global landscape:
“We’ve witnessed a conflation of fundamental changes across society, environment, and economics, leading to a transformation in structure, driven by AI and demographic shifts.
While the conversation is future-oriented, we must ask ourselves: what future do we want to achieve?”
Danny Quah, Dean and Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, highlighted the urgency in tackling fundamental issues arising from economic tensions:
“The world today is contested by bread-and-butter issues that extend beyond traditional war zones. Even in places without conflict, there are deep tensions – notably around economic and environmental shocks. Historically, despite ideological differences, the belief was that economics would hold the world together, but that idea is now being undermined. This disconnect between policy and daily life is critical, and we have yet to effectively address it.”
