THURSDAY 9 FEBRUARY 2023
9:00 AM TO 1:00 PM


Digital conference

2022 was in many ways an unprecedented year: the stalled conflict between Russia and Ukraine, heightened geopolitical tensions, and a new economic paradigm with the return of inflation, rising interest rates, and expensive and scarce energy in some parts of the world.

How do companies face these diverse problems, react and adapt? With Coface’s help, take the pulse of these challenges, in terms of country, political, social and sectoral risks – that we will need to meet in the coming months.

Alongside Coface's economists, high-level French and international experts from the world of business, finance, and economic research will decipher the major challenges of the global economy and assess their possible impact on companies worldwide.
