In a complex period like the one we are going through, the transformations, both positive and negative, that are influencing geopolitics, the economy, and society are becoming increasingly evident. Geopolitical imbalances exacerbated by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Russo-Ukrainian war, the energy transition, the rise in economic inequalities and inflation, social unrest, climate and migration crises, and the consequences of a demographically changing structure. Numerous elements make up this epochal moment for Italy and the world. Only by understanding them can we prepare for the year and the years to come.
How will the ongoing conflicts progress and what outcomes can be expected from the 2024 elections in the USA, Europe, and the rest of the world? What will be the trend of inflation? What challenges will the Italian government face in 2024?
In this meeting, participants will have the opportunity to engage with a panel of experts to better understand the current trends and the geopolitical, economic, and social prospects for the coming months. Dario Fabbri will provide forecasts on the ongoing geopolitical phenomena. Janet Henry will offer insights on growth, inflation, interest rates, and macroeconomic phenomena. Finally, Ferruccio De Bortoli will discuss the main challenges facing the Italian government and the social issues that most jeopardize the cohesion of the Italian community.
In particular, discussions will focus on:

• ongoing wars, global competition, and the 2024 elections worldwide.
• macroeconomic phenomena: growth, inflation, interest rates in Europe and the world.
• italian politics.
• society, community, and challenges of the transition.
