EIB Group Forum | Panel 5: Global economic relations at a time of geopolitical dislocation

Globalisation and the financial architecture that underpins it are faced with an increasingly vocal backlash. But challengers of the institutional order have yet to put forward a coherent alternative. While coordination is more necessary than ever to tackle global challenges, from climate change to health emergencies and conflict, the world is retracting into a patchwork of regional or national responses. Can free trade, cooperation and openness reclaim their allure? Or must we contend with a regionalization of policies and ambitions? How can the world avoid a “tragedy of the commons” in this emerging landscape?
