In this episode of The Big Questions, John Briggs and NatWest Group International Advisor Scott Livingstone reflect on a wide range of geopolitical flashpoints and the potential impact on the economy longer term. As we pass an inauspicious milestone, the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, how will the war evolve from here and what are the potential implications for energy markets? With tensions between China and the US rising on a range of fronts, where will geopolitical security and economic policy remain bound together and where will they decouple — and what could that mean for global supply chains? How might shifting political tides in the Middle East affect global foreign policy towards the region? And, could Pakistan be the setting for the next Black Swan geopolitical event?

Welcome to The Big Questions podcast! Featuring specialist insights from a range of experts, each month NatWest’s Global Head of Economics & Markets Strategy John Briggs tackles the big questions shaping the future of the economy, markets, and businesses. 

In this inaugural episode of The Big Questions, John speaks with Brian Daingerfield, Ross Walker, and Galvin Chia about what China's post-covid reopening means for the global economy and markets in the long-term. The somewhat abrupt end to China's 'Zero Covid' policy is viewed by many as likely to have a significant impact on the global economic outlook -- but just how significant, and in what ways? Have investors and business leaders gotten ahead of themselves in estimating the potential upside to growth, inflation, and commodity prices? Or, are they actually underestimating potentially formidable downside risks, like the potential for further domestic or regional volatility, or prolonged weariness of global businesses to reinvest in China for fear that yet more lockdowns could gum up international supply chains?
