Hey there! Have you ever thought about how countries around the world are connected? ๐ It’s kind of like a big, global friendship circle where everyone shares ideas, products, and helps each other out. This connectedness is called the global economy.
But sometimes, countries start to pull apart and stop sharing as much. This is called global economic fragmentation. It’s like when friends have a disagreement and stop talking. And guess what? This can create big challenges that affect everyoneโeven you! ๐ฎ
On May 16, 2025, a big event called the Tsinghua PBCSF Global Finance Forum was held. Experts from all over the world came together to talk about how to keep our global economy strong and united. The theme was “A Shared Future: Building an Open and Inclusive Economic and Financial System.” Sounds important, right?
Some of the super-smart people at the forum included:
- Kairat Kelimbetov, former Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan.
- Ouyang Weimin, Vice President of the China Society for Finance and Banking.
- Boris Vujฤiฤ, Governor of the Croatian National Bank.
- Nouriel Roubini, Professor Emeritus at NYU Stern School of Business.
They discussed how global economic fragmentation can impact businesses, jobs, and even the prices of things we buy every day. Imagine if your favorite video game couldn’t be sold in your country anymore because of these issues! ๐ฎ
But don’t worryโthese experts are working hard to find solutions. They believe that by communicating and cooperating, countries can overcome these challenges. It’s like when you and your friends talk things out to fix a problem. ๐ค
So, why does this matter to you? Well, in our connected world, what happens in one country can affect people everywhere. By understanding these big topics, you can be part of the conversation about making our world a better place!
Stay curious and keep exploring! ๐
