Summary

“Geopolitics and their impact on the markets are greater right now than at any point in my professional life,” said Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media. In this episode of “Living Beyond Borders,” a special GZERO podcast series brought to you by Citi Private Bank, we’re looking at the current state of the global economy. Gas prices are skyrocketing, supply chain issues abound, and we’re facing a bear market that has sent stock prices tumbling. All of these issues are exacerbated by the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and a growing divide and decoupling between China and the US. But could there be opportunity in this moment of great uncertainty? Our discussion gives investors a frank and forward-looking view of what to expect in the coming weeks, months, and years. This episode, moderated by Shari Friedman, Eurasia Group’s Managing Director of Climate and Sustainability, features Ian Bremmer in conversation with David Bailin, Chief Investment Officer and Global Head of Investments at Citi Global Wealth.

1:09.0	A Roman leader who presided over the empire during one of its longest periods of peace and
1:13.7	prosperity had this to say about trying to predict the future.
1:18.4	Never let the future disturb you.
1:20.3	You will meet it if you have to with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against
1:25.0	the present.
1:26.5	What Emperor Marcus Aurelius believed in the second century
1:29.3	AD still rings true today. And while we can't predict the future, we can still think,
1:35.1	plan, and prepare for it. It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through this year
1:40.2	in the 21st century, 2022. But as we look ahead to the rest of the year and what some of the
1:46.1	greatest risks and opportunities will be for all of us, we wanted to bring in two experts to
1:51.1	track the evidence and help us better understand and better inform our decisions. We're joined today
