Geopolitical resilience, not predictions, will shape future investment, experts say at BMG Economic Forum

LONDON: Investors should focus less on predicting geopolitical crises and more on building resilient, adaptable business models, experts said during a panel at the BMG Economic Forum at the London Stock Exchange.

The session brought together energy economist Dr. Carole Nakhle, CEO of Crystol Energy; Sohail Ali, partner at DLA Piper; and Zahra Sadiq, founder of Impact Group, to examine how global uncertainty is reshaping investment strategies.

Speaking to Arab News after the panel, Nakhle said the global conversation around energy transition has become more grounded after years of overly ambitious expectations.

“When we all started talking about energy transition, there was a lot of ambition — and it’s good to be ambitious,” she said. “But we also have to be realistic.”
