The global economy is currently facing a pivotal moment filled with uncertainty. Many central banks around the world have shifted their focus from fighting inflation to trying to prevent a recession, in a challenging economic soft landing that is difficult to achieve. This situation occurs in a volatile world where geopolitical conflicts continue and amidst an electoral year that has seen numerous changes in governments worldwide. The upcoming highlight remains the presidential elections in the United States. In this turbulent and polarized world, there are also opportunities, which will be highlighted at the Latin America, United States, and Spain in the global economy forum organized by EL PAÍS and the Spain-United States Chamber of Commerce.
The event, which takes place in New York parallel to the United Nations General Assembly, will feature the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, and the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, among a diverse panel of authorities and business leaders.
