Event overview

The world's financial system, long centred on America, is more globalised than ever. Yet it is now in danger of fragmenting along geopolitical lines. Join Joshua Roberts, the author of a new special report, for a look at how the international financial geography is changing, and its risks and opportunities for rich and poor countries.
