Out with the old. That was the message delivered in elections across the globe in 2024. Now, nations of the world are reckoning with the aftermath and contending with the future. Gone is the relative stability of a US-dominated world. In its place: a demand for change, some of it radical, against the increasingly familiar backdrop of multipolar instability, disruptive innovation and climatic catastrophes.

On Nov. 19-21, 2025, Bloomberg New Economy’s flagship event, the New Economy Forum, and with it our community of global leaders, returns to Singapore. We’ll examine the prospects for global growth and prosperity as America’s new priorities under the second Trump administration collide with China’s ambitions and influence. As Southeast Asia’s commercial and financial capital, Singapore offers the ideal vantage point for evaluating the impact of these new and challenging conditions not just regionally but far beyond, in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

As governments and companies prepare for years of uncertain outcomes, Bloomberg New Economy is shaping the essential debate on strategies for survival and success.
