Blog on what underlie the financial markets
It is in human nature to evolve continuously, in step with a changing world and inspired by new ideas for solutions.
Today, however, the pace of change is accelerating exponentially—driven in large part by new technologies, especially AI. At the same time, long-established trade structures are being challenged, as emerging powers seek to redefine the foundations laid by the old empires. This puts pressure on previously stable institutions such as the Bretton Woods bodies—the IMF and the World Bank—as well as on free trade organizations and the broader framework of globalization, including the WTO. It also disrupts our very understanding of money and settlement systems, such as SWIFT and the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
The framework we once took for granted—and which therefore remained invisible—can suddenly exert decisive influence over a company’s sales or supply chains.
We are typically frightened by what we cannot see—and therefore cannot fully grasp. Change and uncertainty can keep us alert and reveal new opportunities, but the invisible also carries the risk of erosion.
We thus face a time where it will be ever more important, that we make ourselves aware of the changes around us, but equally ourselves. Are we looking at this objectively, fact based and self aware? Can we improve, become more ethic or more focused? Are we aware of all the de-selections, that our choice inevitably entail? Before we can create change, we should understand history, that which has brought us where we are now. Are we looking at the right spots when we try to understand the changes in our surroundings?
