Last week, as part of the Business Conference ongoing course, we had the honor of welcoming Mr. Jacques Machaalany for a high-level workshop on "Systemic Governance and the Rise and Fall of Nations."

With 41 years of executive leadership in global finance, Mr. Machaalany provided a deep dive into governance systems, and how they drive national prosperity, economic resilience, and, conversely, decline. Using real-world case studies, from China and the USA to Dubai and Lebanon, he dissected the structural forces shaping economies, financial markets, and political stability.

Key Takeaways:

- How governance frameworks dictate economic growth and national power shifts

- The role of financial institutions in shaping systemic stability

- Lessons from historical and contemporary global markets

An invaluable session that challenged perspectives and provided strategic insights for future decision-makers.
