The world economy is still fighting with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries are experiencing a rebound in economic activity. However, the pace of recovery remains uneven across regions due to these factors:
1. Geopolitical Dynamics.
One of the main factors that played a big role in shaping the global economy in 2023 was the geopolitical tensions.

Great insight.
what I think is, every year starts with the narrative of the previous year and by the second month or so, the year picks out a few grand themes and makes it its own narrative. Last year, we knew about
-geo tensions
-great AI transition
-inflation
from last year, and this year’s story is going to be the geopolitics and AI. Well, crypto too I guess. It’s officially bull market.
Yes, the AI theme is not going to drop out of impotance.Major things are ahead of us.
It has been 3 months since the end of that year, but these data are still relevant for study.
Btw, these data make it possible to better analyze what will happen this year.
