In a few days, the World Economic Forum will host its first global meeting in Saudi Arabia. Income convergence between developed and developing countries is stalling for the first time in more than three decades. This is exacerbated by a more volatile geopolitical context, more inward-looking economic policy ("Homeland Economics", as The Economist has called it) and the trade-offs, investments and dilemmas imposed by the energy transition. Underpinned by its transformation journey, Saudi Arabia can work with developed and developing markets to reach their long-term goals, particularly in regards to international commerce, development finance and energy. Check out the themes and programme of our Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development; as well as the leaders who will drive the discussions and dialogue around those themes. #specialmeeting24

Following the reports from The Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, it's evident that global stock markets have fallen sharply due to growing worries about a potential US recession. Japan experienced its worst day since 1987, and markets in the US and Europe are also down, which negatively impacts lower-income economies. I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Al Qahera News Tv about the strategies of the Federal Reserve and the two main contenders in the upcoming elections: Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump. It was an exciting exchange, and I want to extend my thanks to Adel Mohamed, the producer of the show on Cairo Today. Emory College of Arts and Sciences Andre Dickens Christine Lagarde mohamed adel.
