Follow the Sun 2021 Predictions | 24-hour Special

How can financial institutions adapt quickly to the new-normal in a heavily regulated industry? In the midst of these operational challenges, how can traders deal with heightened levels of risk and volatility? What additional risks are emerging? Will ESG continue to outperform other sectors of the market? Will there be a recovery or a recession in 2021? How can we avert our next crisis together: the climate emergency?

These questions, amongst many currently debated upon by economists, investment officers, governments, analysts and market commentators, are not straight-forward to answer.
