In an era of shifting alliances and regulatory flux, financial actors face a landscape shaped by geopolitical instability, sanctions regimes, the rise of regional energy blocs, and the mounting risks of climate change. This opening session sets the stage for the summit, charting the forces reshaping capital flows, market access, and cross-border cooperation—and exploring how leaders can navigate volatility without losing sight of long-term sustainability.
