The world is looking forward to seeing the dawn in the crisis -- Looking forward to the 2023 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum

2023-01-16

The 2023 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum will be held in the Swiss town of Davos from January 16 to 20. As one of the most famous economic forums in the world, the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum once again held an offline meeting in Davos in winter, which to some extent reflects the world's expectation to see the dawn in the crisis and to expect the global economy to get out of the haze and resume normal growth. The theme of this annual conference is "Strengthening cooperation in a divided world". The world today is facing multiple crises: the COVID-19, geopolitical conflicts, and rising energy and food prices. Leaders of all countries urgently need to find solutions. The World Economic Forum recently released the 2023 Global Risk Report, which pointed out that conflicts and geo-economic conflicts have triggered a series of deeply-related global risks. In the next two years, the shortage of energy and food supply will continue to plague the world, and the cost of living and debt service will rise sharply. At the same time, these short-term risks will undermine the actions of the international community to address long-term challenges such as climate change and biodiversity protection. Standing at the crossroads, where does the world go? Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, repeatedly stressed the importance of "cooperation". He said in a video speech a few days ago that the world today is indeed facing many crises, but what is more worrying is the short-term decision-making behavior caused by the crisis mentality, which may cause the world to face destructive consequences. In an exclusive interview with reporters from Xinhua News Agency, Borg Brender, President of the World Economic Forum, said that the risks of global recession this year came from war, trade protectionism and climate change. This annual meeting was held against the backdrop of the most complex geopolitical and economic conflicts in decades. Although the situation of jointly addressing common challenges is grim, the world is still expected to gain momentum to emerge from the crisis and develop vigorously again. On the eve of this annual meeting, many managers of the World Economic Forum expressed optimism and expectations. Brend said that in addition to attracting dozens of heads of state and government, this annual meeting also attracted many finance ministers, central bank governors and trade ministers, indicating that countries around the world are eager to strengthen communication and jointly solve the current problems. Mirek Duchek, member of the Management Committee of the World Economic Forum, said that more than 1500 heads from 700 organizations had registered to attend this year. He said that infrastructure investment, including clean energy investment, will become one of the focuses of this annual meeting, which will add new impetus to global growth. Liang Jinhui, director of the Nature and Climate Center of the World Economic Forum, said that this annual meeting will also focus on the most urgent environmental issues facing the world, and will focus on how to reshape and lay the foundation of a new agricultural industrial system. It is reported that this forum will focus on five topics: how to solve the current energy and food crisis, how to deal with the current high inflation and high debt, how to deal with the industrial downturn, how to solve the current social vulnerability problem, and how to deal with the current geopolitical risks. China's contribution has attracted attention. Many experts believe that in the face of a divided world, China has always played the role of "stabilizer" and is an important driving force for global economic recovery. "Countries should try again
