World Economic Brainstorming: Next Steps for Sustaining Growth
The World Economic Brainstorming (WEB) brings together industry leaders, policy-makers and experts to focus their collective knowledge on the future state of the global economy through a series of boardroom-style roundtable discussions and the use of an electronic voting system to identify future economic challenges and growth opportunities.
The objective is to leverage the insights generated over two days of discussions to identify priorities for sustaining growth despite an uncertain future outlook.

On which currencies are businesses banking their future, particularly given the latest pressure on the dollar and risks of contagion beyond the US?
