Geopolitics: Forecasting the World in 2020

In the era of Donald Trump and Brexit, the world is getting harder to predict. This degree of uncertainty has caused a slowdown in global economic growth. The rising trade tensions and political unrest is impacting the spending decisions of consumers and companies. This panel of FT experts discussed their predictions for the world in 2020. What sort of Britain will emerge from Brexit? Will Trump be re-elected? If so, what will be the implications for the US and the rest of the world? How will the US-China trade war impact the wider world economy? They also discussed how these changes are likely to play out over the next few years and affect the prospects for global business.
