2024 Marked by Global Conflicts and Historic Elections

Business leaders grapple with geopolitical risks as major conflicts escalate and nearly half the world's population prepares to vote.

Three major conflicts are threatening global peace in 2024: Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, and internal strife in the United States.
Geopolitical risks have topped the list of concerns for business leaders in 2024, a shift from not even making the top 5 in 2022.
Despite the risks, many business leaders are not seriously considering altering business strategy or asset allocation.
2024 will see more people go to the polls than in any one year in human history, with elections in many systemically- and geo-strategically-significant countries like the US, India, Mexico, Taiwan, and Russia.
US-China relations are expected to be more stable in 2024, despite ongoing tensions.
