Volatility and uncertainty are persistent challenges for financial markets, making it difficult to clearly visualize the future of capital markets. Still, financial markets continue to innovate and adapt, with a relentless drive to ensure that they can support and enable future business and capital needs. Private capital and digitalization advance that future by enabling a dynamic and scalable debt capital market.
The energy industry is at a crossroads, with new pathways and directions emerging. This edition of Look Forward assesses the state of the energy transition and the pragmatic path forward, highlighting essential truths about the direction of global energy markets and climate change, and the potential impact of AI on optimization and innovation across energy value chains.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, AI is a transformative force revolutionizing business, the economy and society. In the eighth edition of Look Forward, S&P Global offers a balanced look at AI complexity by highlighting the opportunities and risks in three parts: AI and labor, AI and energy, and AI and society.
Emerging markets are strategically positioned to drive global economic growth through the expansion of their domestic markets and to benefit from the reconfiguration of supply chains, trade and investment.
The global energy system has been in continuous transition for centuries, but it is the current transition that has everyone talking.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world realized that supply chains are fragile and can have significant national strategic implications, especially at a time when geopolitical competition is on the rise.
As we look ahead to 2030, the world faces unprecedented, accelerated and multifaceted transitions. With global debt potentially reaching $336 trillion, can we afford to confront the global challenges of climate, and who has the capacity to pay?
Our world is in the midst of an unprecedented period of transition and uncertainty, but one fact that unites all observers is that India faces a defining opportunity to capitalize on this moment.
While public markets remain essential to the global economy, many companies today have grown to dominant market positions without ever engaging with public financing.
The disruptions at play are reshaping the global economy, capital markets and geopolitical order for the long term. Both challenges and opportunities will emerge from this period of profound transformation.
