Uncertain times demand informed decisions. Global economic shifts and geopolitical tensions are redefining the business landscape, making it more important than ever to stay ahead of emerging risks and opportunities.
Join us for the BCCJ's first event of the 2025–26 Japanese fiscal year, where two leading experts will break down the key global developments shaping markets and industries:
Andrew McDougall, Global Head of Geopolitical Risk at Barclays, who will provide an in-depth analysis of the evolving geopolitical landscape and its impact on global markets. With extensive experience in the UK Foreign Office and the UK Army, Andrew brings valuable insights into the risks and opportunities businesses need to be aware of.
Neil Newman, Head of Strategy at Astris Advisory, who will offer a financial forecast and economic outlook for the year ahead, shedding light on the key forces driving global change.
The discussion will be moderated by Heather Prosser, Managing Director at FGS Global, who will guide the conversation on how these global developments impact businesses and investment decisions.
As traditional business practices are increasingly challenged by a rapidly evolving world, this session will explore how shifting alliances, emerging markets, and economic trends are redefining the global landscape. Whether you're a business leader, investor, or simply curious about the forces shaping our future, this event will provide valuable insights to help you navigate today's complexities.
