Queen Máxima #UNSGSA led a panel discussion in Davos during the # WEF19 with CEOs of large companies with whom she has been working for a year. In the 'CEO Partnership for Inclusion' (https://www.unsgsa.org/resources/news/leading-ceos-share-experiences-private-private-partnerships/) they share knowledge and experience on how access to financial services improves can be #inclusion funding. Still 1.7 billion people worldwide can not protect themselves against financial setbacks or invest in their future because they can not use a bank or savings account, loans, insurance and pensions.
More than 2000 politicians, business representatives, international organizations, academics and journalists meet each other in Davos. Queen Máxima also speaks with government leaders such as Chancellor Merkel and UN organizations as the #IFAD on inclusive funding and participates in plenary meetings.

Davos... a mémoire
Every time when we gather here in Davos “the global thinker’s” sort of like push aside or knowingly avoid to relook & discuss about the last to last year or even last year forum’s theme. This gives me a “burrup”!! We need to go back in time to understand how we got here & what caused it? If we fail to do that we are most certainly will be in a ” another crisis ” without knowing how to deal with “This one” BETTER!! Now, coming back to this year theme of “Fourth Industrial Revolution” One thing that I understand from listening to various “global thinker’s” is that “Change is not coming” it is “Happening” Big time!! Strategize R’s from consulting farm’s to board room executive’s are embracing that thought! Investors are even more optimistic about chasing an “another Amazon” or perhaps an “another Apple” with a deep fear of “Missing Out” & in consequence “too much private capital” in the hands of PE’s which are enough even to encourage public tech’s to go back to in “childhood days” ie to become private again! To chase growth ambitions! With “easy money” on the table; Record number of public companies are now buying back their own share’s boosting the price’s of their own tickets this in turn helping investors getting hefty premiums in quarterly basis! By borrowing cheap they are deploying large part of their capital in buyback’s! Add this with the free cash flow which are coming in large numbers after the “U.S Tax Cut” The Short to Medium terms looks GREAT but what happens next? The public market’s around the globe also loosing the “Volatility” so “Hedge Fund” day’s are like GONEEE! Of course here & there when there is a spike in volatility the “Hedge Fund” guys like “Ya Good day’s have come” but Alas!! Again this is also a “Short sell” Event! Now when “Investment Bankers” out of U.S talking about “The Negative interest rate” which might also lands up in the “Freeland” I got amazed! Of course it’s a new phenomena & economist’s & policy makers talks all the time! But this coming out from “banker’s” in a Friday night after work! OK!! This is serious! This will kill the Banks! Ask Japanese Bank’s! They are the latest & largest victims of this phenomena! Now coming back to “forth industrial revolution” This is a Shift ” also “AN Opportunity” to seize for nations which didn’t seen any up to now! Mind you! This is a structural change it’s a capital intensive shift from labour intensive one, it’s about raising the output & productivity which in turn will help the growth rate of the country! For this any nation should have large skilled labour force, great infrastructure, few regulatory hurdles & an Ecosystem! The principles of first industrial revolution might also work just as fine in this case also! To attract capital emerging countries should do deep structural reform! Labour, Financial & Land! Encourage R&D spend is vital. For Asia in particular it is a “once in a lifetime” chance to lead the change!
