This year's study shows a lack of faith in societal institutions triggered by economic anxiety, disinformation, mass-class divide and a failure of leadership which brought us to where we are today – deeply and dangerously polarized.
- Business is the only institution seen as both competent and ethical.
- 53% of respondents globally say that their countries are more divided today than in the past.
- CEOs are obligated to improve economic optimism and hold divisive forces accountable.
Our guest speakers will debate this year's results in light of the invasion of Ukraine, the Qatargate, the energy crisis, as well as media disinformation campaigns. The debate will be followed by an audience Q&A and an evening reception.
