WEF report highlights volatility risks
“Volatility will be the rule, not the exception in 2012. What I call the emerging Archipelago World of fragmenting power, capital, and ideas is inherently unstable”
Nader Mousavizadeh, Oxford Analytica CEO
The 2012 report of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Geopolitical Risk, of which Mr. Mousavizadeh is a member, emphasises the risks posed by a weakening of global institutions and increased focus on national interest. The report predicts that the US, China, Saudi Arabia, Germany and Turkey are potential winners in a new global order, while losers might include smaller countries in general, plus Israel, Japan and the UK.
