Bridgewater Announces New Competition with Global Citizen—Forecasting the Future: A Modern Economics Challenge
April 30, 2025
Bridgewater CEO Nir Bar Dea joins Forbes Editor Randall Lane at Global Citizen NOW, NYC to discuss the current paradigm shift reshaping the global markets and economies —what we at Bridgewater call modern mercantilism, where globalization is replaced by nations looking inward, advancing national strength through protectionist trade measures, industrial strength, and self-sufficiency.
Nir also announces the launch of “Forecasting the Future: A Modern Economics Challenge” in partnership with Global Citizen. Building on the success of last year’s partnership, where we supported the World Bank’s 21st IDA replenishment, culminating in the Economic Development Assembly and a record setting replenishment. This year the partnership announces a global call for predictions. Participants are challenged to share their understanding and forecasts of this once in a generation global re-order.
