Overview
With the imposition of ‘Reciprocal Tariffs’ by President Trump, the global trading system has been thrown into complete chaos. As a result, global equity markets have suffered massive losses, uncertainty about economic growth has increased, and layoffs of workers in the most exposed industries have already been announced.
Critical questions emerge. What’s next?
- Are we heading toward a full-blown global recession?
- Will we witness the rise of a multi-polar economic and financial system?
- Could the dominance of the US dollar as international currency be challenged?
The erratic policy decisions of Mr. Trump’s administration are such that definitive answers to these questions remain elusive amid ongoing shifts. This program offers a framework that will allow you to assess scenarios, manage risks and build contingency strategies for your own businesses.
- Analyze the effects of the tariff policies on the US and global economies
- Assess the policy response options available to other countries – negotiation, retaliation, domestic adjustment – and understand their implications
- Examine the trade-offs facing central banks face in maintaining financial stability and identify the consequences of their decisions
