The economics division, Canbek Economics, has provided macroeconomic analysis and macroeconomic and financial forecasting services regarding Canadian, United States and global GDP and its component aggregates, short and long-term interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices.
Geopolitical Investment Advisory Services
Geopolitical analysis and risk assessment requires a multi-disciplinary approach that is embedded in an understanding of history and the sociocultural composition of nations.
We have entered a period of increased geopolitical risk and turbulence emanating from climate change, the end of a unipolar and the emergence of a multipolar international system, the rise of populism and authoritarianism, and the acceleration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, the likelihood of black swan events has risen dramatically.
The principals combine a background involving business, economics, history, political science, international relations, defence, physics, mathematics and statistics. Their work has focused on the Trans-Atlantic, European, Eurasian, Southeast European and Middle Eastern and North African regions of the world.
