Co-hosted with our partner Corporate Research Forum (CRF) at the Financial Times, the event brought together forward-thinking leaders who are challenging the status quo and scanning the horizon for what’s next. Katie Martin, FT Markets Columnist, unpacked how recent shocks - like the “Liberation Day” tariffs and JD Vance’s Munich speech - have shaken trust in the US as the world’s financial anchor, with investor confidence shifting toward markets like Germany’s.
