Chief Economists’ Outlook January 2026: reassuring resilience and a ‘good’ bubble?

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The latest Chief Economists’ Outlook is a revealing pulse-check of the global economy based on a survey of leading chief economists from a variety of organizations.

Christian Keller, Head of Economics Research at Barclays Investment Bank, joins to flesh out the key parts of the latest outlook – he helps us understand why tariffs haven’t proven to be quite the disaster economists feared (yet), and why people are saying that even if this is an AI bubble, it might in some ways be a good one.

Global Risks ’26 and how the Davos ‘spirit of dialogue’ can help us face them

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum’s annual snapshot of the biggest risks facing the world in the near, medium and long terms, shows geopolitical and economic risks on the rise in the new ‘age of competition’. 
The report is published just days before the Forum’s Annual Meeting and is a good indicator of what the 3,000 leaders convening in Davos, Switzerland will be talking about.

Gayle Markovitz is joined by a co-host, Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi, and two expert guests, Peter Giger, Group Chief Risk Officer at Zurich Insurance, and Andrew George, Global President of Specialties at Marsh.
The Global Risks Report, available here, was compiled by Mark Elsner and Grace Atkinson of the Forum’s Global Risks Initiative.

3 Decades of Impact : The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Social entrepreneurs are not superheroes. They’re people who encounter a problem they can no longer ignore and choose to act. Grounded in the everyday realities of their communities, they build solutions that work – not because they promise the ‘next big tech’, but because they respond to what people and markets actually need.

Amid a year of profound disruption and geopolitical shifts, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, in partnership with the World Economic Forum, has reimagined its models and pivoted to new opportunities to remain impactful. Their collective response reveals a sector in transition – one that is redefining sustainability through collaboration, adaptability and a renewed commitment to making society a better place.

Over nearly three decades, the Schwab Foundation has built a global community of pioneering social innovators. By fostering a diverse and trust-based community, raising awareness of social innovation models, facilitating collaboration and partnerships, and providing capacity-building resources and learning opportunities, the foundation is committed to scaling social entrepreneurship and innovation worldwide.

Women in Finance

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The world of finance is navigating profound change.

In an era defined by volatility and fragmentation, collaboration and long-term thinking are becoming decisive advantages. In that environment, perspective matters — and so does a trusted network.

The World Economic Forum’s Women in Finance community connects senior leaders across markets, regions and industries. Collectively, this global network influences trillions of dollars in capital and spans the full breadth of the financial system.

Leaders such as Tzu Mi Liew of GIC Private Limited, Karen Karniol-Tambour of Bridgewater Associates, Christiana Riley of Santander US and Lisha Patel of Wellcome reflect on why long-term thinking underpins resilience and why better decisions are made together.
