Takeaways from the 13 April seminar at the VMO Group
On 13 April 2023, the VMO Group, a software development company, hosted ‘The World Economy, SVB and Credit Suisse’. A presentation where Mauro Tortone, Director and Advisor at P27, shared his views on the state of the world economy and the developing banking crisis at VMO head office in Hanoi, Vietnam. Hung Mai, Sales Manager at the VMO Group, chaired the event. Around seventy people from VMO attended the event (some in person, some online). Here are some of the takeaways.
- The world economy is adjusting to the post-Covid, deglobalising, climate-challenged world
- Covid kicked off global inflation, and the Ukraine-Russia crisis accelerated it
- Both Covid and Ukraine also accelerated deglobalisation (regionalisation)
- They also made it more difficult to deal with global challenges such as climate change
- The central banks’ response to inflation (raising interest rates) triggered bank failures
- The SVB, Credit Suisse and other bank failures may lead to a credit crisis, but not like in ’07-08
- A more selective approach to opportunities can still uncover great opportunities
