How did sanctions reshape the global monetary order and the stability of the current financial system?  In the first part of this conversation, Jeroen Blokland (Founder & Head of Research at True Insights) shares his views on how the volatility induced by the pandemic, geopolitical events and historical sanctions impacts investors' asset allocation strategy. According to Jeroen, the current circumstances enabled China the opportunity to assert dominance over the Dollar in the coming decades and thereby rebalancing the global financial system. Tensions between political systems and financial markets might increase volatility in the coming times and adding pressures to rampant global inflation. We discuss the energy shock and how failed policies led to the current sky high gas and electricity prices. Economies in the USA, the Eurozone and China face increase risks of a recession. Jeroen also shares his views on the policy responses of the Federal Reserve and the ECB which are corned between keeping inflation under control by raising interest rates while avoiding a too strong tightening which might lead economies into a recession.◽️ About Jeroen BloklandJeroen Blokland was former head of Multi Assets at Robeco and accumulated precious experience over the last decades.
