Navigating unprecedented complexity and uncertainty

The series of repeated shocks of the last few years (such as the ongoing trade war, the war in Ukraine and related energy crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic) have laid bare the vulnerabilities, interconnectedness, and sheer complexity of our global economy. Successfully navigating these renewed uncertainties that cast a shadow over the global economy will require deep understanding of the risks, the impact of monetary and fiscal policies, the international monetary system and theories that underpin it, as well as the role and the fragilities of the key players on the global stage.

This transformative programme leverages the full expertise of LSE faculty and distinguished visiting speakers to ground you in the events and debates that are reshaping our world economy; and to empower you with the knowledge and insights to make sense of the road that lies ahead. A particular emphasis will be given to technological developments, including in the financial sphere with the emergence of fin-tech and digital currencies.
