Volatility... Yet Opportunities Ahead

Karen O'Donnell
editor at Chartwell Speakers

Twelve months ago, we were deploying Covid vaccines, paying reasonable energy prices, interest rates were low and there was no open war in Ukraine. There was no talk of global recession and the exchange rates for the major currencies were largely unchanged.

What a difference a year makes.

What will we be saying this time next year? What are the emerging forces we need to understand now to prepare for 2023?

While no one has perfect foresight, Chartwell works with many experts who assess global events and identify emerging trends to share their predictions for the next year.

Some of our geopolitical speakers include:
