What they said
“ We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.” – Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Carney argued that the assumptions underpinning globalisation have fundamentally changed.
Trade, financial systems, technology, energy supplies and manufacturing networks are no longer merely channels of economic exchange. They are increasingly being used as instruments of political pressure and national power. Where products are manufactured, how they are transported and which countries control essential technologies may matter as much as price.
