MUJTABA’S TALKS
Brexit, the refugee crisis, the rise of populism, eurozone weakness, a resurgent Russia, Catalonian independence…the critical issues currently facing Europe are manifold and complex.
Mij can not only drill down into each of these topics individually; he is also highly adept at drawing together these strands to deliver a clear overview of where Europe is headed, the risks and opportunities it faces, and how these relate to the broader dynamics of global power.
His insights are highly valuable for investors and businesses looking to navigate an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
