Play Video: Navigating the Evolving Geoeconomic Landscape in the Caucasus and Central Asia

Growth in the Caucasus and Central Asia remains robust and broad-based. Still, the region is exposed to geoeconomic developments and countries face heightened uncertainty amid tentative signs that trade, financial flows, and migration patterns are changing. Moreover, boosting medium-term growth will require effective reform implementation. In this context, what policies and reforms can help countries create a predictable environment conducive to investment and sustainable economic growth? A distinguished panel of speakers explores these pivotal issues and many more from the IMF’s latest Regional Economic Outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia and take questions from the audience during the Q&A portion of the event.

World Economic Forum Video: Robot Conducts Orchestra & Europe’s Largest Marine Protected Area | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

Play Video: Robot Conducts Orchestra & Europe’s Largest Marine Protected Area | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

This week's top stories of the week include: 0:14 Wind turbine repurposed into home – It’s built from the control box of a Vattenfall turbine which stood in an Austrian wind farm for 20 years. Most wind farm nacelles today are much larger. But a team from architecture collective Superuse Studios, working with Blade-Made, chose one of the smallest to prove that the concept of a tiny turbine home could work. 1:57 Robot makes its conducting debut – The 3-armed robot performed in a concert in Germany, leading the specially written Semiconductor’s Masterpiece. The piece features 3 wildly diverging time signatures. The orchestra’s artistic director says the robot is not intended to replace humans but to perform complex music too difficult for a person to conduct. 3:41 Europe’s largest Marine Protected Area – It covers almost 300,000 km2 of the ocean floor and encompasses several vulnerable marine ecosystems. Half the new MPA is fully protected, meaning no fishing or extractive activities are allowed. While the other half is highly protected which restricts activities like fishing. 6:41 4 ways to maximize cybersecurity – Cyber insecurity is one of the biggest risks facing the world. As technology evolves and spreads, cyber resilience becomes more important than ever. Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to minimize the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
