Key takeaways from Davos 2025
Leaders at the World Economic Forum (WEF) may misinterpret a “global mood” and spend the year trying to validate it. However, delegates largely felt “nervously optimistic.”
US investors appeared energized yet acknowledged uncertainties. In contrast, Europeans expressed concerns over economic issues and regulatory burdens.
Gulf States actively promoted both traditional energy and AI. The Chinese delegation was notably small, while developing nations sought to align with US optimism but emphasized their balanced approach towards East and West.
