VOL. 39 NO. 3
Geopolitics is dominating the news these days. Uncertainty about the future of the global economy, political decisions by key governments, and the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are central to public discourse. However, this uncertainty does not mean we can pause our activities until greater clarity emerges.
In other words, the need to report and analyze issues relevant to our audience remains unchanged, despite evolving trends and uncertain outcomes. While many key players may be cautious or even silent in commenting on recent events, we must continue to provide insights.
This month’s cover story examines the growing gap between the global need for green infrastructure and the funding available to support it. More traditional projects seem to receive a disproportionate share of funding, while more advanced and innovative initiatives struggle to gain backing. Is there enough money to fund all of this? The answer depends on who you ask.
In line with this, we present extensive coverage of Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean in a special supplement that addresses various topics, from currencies to trade. This issue also highlights our annual Sustainability Awards, a topic that continues to spark debate worldwide in financial and political circles. Despite the divisiveness, there are clear outperformers who deserve to be recognized and celebrated.
Additionally, we analyze Kuwait’s current economic trends, focusing on ongoing reforms and efforts to diversify the economy.
Our monthly Global Salon addresses a topic transcending geopolitical uncertainty: accounting fraud detection. The conversation with Joanne Horton from Warwick Business School was stimulating and insightful, prompting us to dedicate more space to it than usual. This discussion reinforces our belief that, while geopolitical instability remains a key concern, it doesn’t overshadow the other crucial issues that authorities, corporations, and consumers continue to face.
