The global economy is at a pivotal moment, marked by profound shifts in regional growth patterns, technological innovation, and structural challenges.

Regent Business School Academic, Devina Dawkinun explores these pressing trends and offers a comprehensive analysis of the forces driving economic transformation and highlighting the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
