World Economic Forum

Critical Issues

Background:

The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. It is best known for conferences, especially the flagship conference in Davos, Switzerland each January. Incorporated as a foundation in 1971, and based in Geneva, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum is impartial and not-for-profit; it is tied to no political, partisan or national interests. The World Economic Forum is under the supervision of the Swiss Federal Government.

As meetings in Davos begin, political scientist Ian Bremmer and Dr. Nouriel Roubini, RGE's chairman, share their region-by-region political and economic expectations for the year ahead on the RGE Analysts' EconoMonitor.
