Top bankers stress resilience and wisdom key to navigating uncertainty
“We’re seeing everyone recognise we’ve got to build up resiliency,” said Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup. “It’s easy to say globalisation is dead. It’s not. It’s just changing tremendously.”
BNP Paribas chairman Jean Lemierre said trade is a matter of negotiation. “The end result will be an agreement because otherwise it would be terrible for each of us.”
Lemierre said that wisdom should lead to solutions for trade tensions, which is all about “tariff, quota, reciprocity and timing”.
