Possible explanations include the fading of a one-time boost to productivity from information technology in the late 1990s and early 2000s; the reduced movement of resources from the least productive to the most productive firms, including new businesses, perhaps due to greater financial constraints for new and small businesses; and a delay between the introduction of new technologies, such as robotics, genetic sequencing, and artificial intelligence, and their effect on new production processes and products.9 To conclude, recent economic developments have been mixed, and important downside risks remain.
That “the last syllable of recorded time” be not the word “tragedy”. So let us together ensure that horizons from this day will no longer be associated with tragedy, but instead with a bright, green, sustainable future. Let the future of finance be that of financing the future! Thank you. 2
