Davos 2026

 

No doubt that Mark Carney gave an evocative speech and spoke some truths. But the interpretation that the “rule-based-order” that has helped govern international trade and keep peace is dead or dying is histrionics. 

 

What the world is going through is a forced reboot that ought to have happened voluntarily a long time ago - to accommodate the dramatic shifts in global economy, with populous nations like China, India, other low-and-middle-income nations becoming major economic powers in their own right. 

 

From what seems like “rupture” of the existing system will evolve a new fair and democratic multipolar global order - which will be closer to balance (rather than a single hegemonic system) and account for the world’s population and economic distribution more equitably.
