The age of global uncertainty
We live in an era where change is the only constant. Geopolitics, economics, society and technology intertwine in an increasingly interdependent global system.
Today, diplomatic tension can influence financial markets, an energy crisis can accelerate digital transformation and a social movement can redefine business strategies.
Uncertainty has become the norm, not the exception.

FROM BINANCE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
On October 23, Donald Trump used his presidential power of pardon for Changpeng Zhao, the Chinese entrepreneur best known as the founder of Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges.
Zhao had been convicted of violating U.S. anti–money laundering laws, after the platform was accused of enabling transactions for armed groups, hackers, and individuals doing business with Iran despite Washington’s sanctions.
The decision has not been viewed merely as personal clemency, but as a political signal: the White House aims to reinforce its commitment to the digital currency sector.
In recent months, Trump and his family have also backed World Liberty Financial, a crypto company involving both Binance and Zhao.
The case underscores the tightening links between politics and digital finance, raising questions about the future balance between innovation, regulation, and global security.

CONSCIOUS BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
In the modern business world, we often believe we’re making rational, conscious decisions. In reality, many choices are driven by deeper forces—unresolved fears, ingrained habits and unconscious patterns. Productivity, achievements and performance often take precedence over authentic growth and evolution.

EMERGING MARKETS UNDER PRESSURE
Asian Development Outlook published by the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
In recent decades, capital flows into emerging markets have undergone two decisive shifts.
The first came in 2008, when the Federal Reserve launched its Quantitative Easing program, flooding global markets with liquidity and driving strong investment into emerging economies.
The second occurred in 2014, when QE ended, and global financial conditions tightened.
Today, in the post-QE phase, capital movements are largely influenced by U.S. monetary policy, trade uncertainty, and geopolitical risks.
However, countries with solid growth prospects, well-developed financial markets, and reliable institutions are better able to maintain investor confidence and withstand global volatility.

GLOBAL ECONOMY: GROWTH OR ILLUSION?
In recent years, the global economy has seemed to be hanging in a delicate balance. Signs of growth are visible, but they often rest on shaky foundations.
Behind the world’s positive GDP figures lies a reality of widening inequalities and increasingly concentrated wealth.

OIL: THE SOUTH AMERICAN RISE
For years OPEC has been the key stabilizing force on the international oil market.
Today, however, a new powerhouse is emerging with significant impact: South America.
Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and Argentina are transforming the global energy map thanks to offshore oil fields and unconventional resources capable of guaranteeing competitive supplies for decades to come.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: NO BUBBLE, JUST REAL GROWTH
by Franco Torchia
President of the Ethics Committee
In recent days, the surge in the evaluation of companies linked to AI had sparked concerns about a possible correction.
Many observers have noted that the multimillion investments in AI infrastructure – from chips to data centres – are not yet justified by current revenues.
However, this does not necessarily represent a systemic risk, especially in a sector undergoing rapid expansion.
The concerns voiced by the IMF and the ECB, while understandable, risk exacerbating market volatility.

EUROPE STUCK, CHINA AUTHORITARIAN, AMERICA ON THE BRINK
Three Models in Conflict
The global landscape reveals profound differences among the world’s major economic regions; differences that today manifest themselves more as divergent trajectories than as mere alternative approaches to development.
In Europe stable democracy prevails, but one marked by cultural stagnation and an inability to generate new growth.
China, on the other hand, offers a model characterised by extremely tight political control over both material and cultural production. Despite the absence of an open and pluralistic system, the country has achieved significant economic results.
The United States finds itself in an identity crisis: despite being historically the cradle of economic freedom and innovation, it is now showing signs of progressive polarisation and an increasingly intrusive central power.

A NEW EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE
The Constitution of Innovation
by Luis Garicano, Bengt Holmström & Nicolas Petit · Nov 10, 2025
After World War II, Europe recovered quickly, boosting incomes and productivity while reducing working hours.
From the 1980s onward, growth slowed, unlike the steady U.S. pace.
Three economists argue that excessive bureaucracy and the loss of an innovative mindset weakened Europe.
They call for simpler rules, open markets, and supportive institutions to revive growth and innovation.

Since finance is grounded in expectations, the Trump Administration’s displays of strength can be read as a form of armed finance: the use of financial leverage and geopolitical power to sustain U.S. credibility despite high debt, constraints on the Fed, and a dollar in gradual erosion.
