While global markets navigate a rollercoaster of geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is spotlighting a silver lining: emerging economies are thriving. 🌍💡
In an exclusive chat with CGTN during a high-stakes meeting in Riyadh, WEF Managing Director Saadia Zahidi doubled down on her optimism. \"The rules are changing, and that\'s where the magic happens,\" she said, channeling major *Barbie*-movie energy about innovation in unexpected places. 💥
Why the Hype?
1️⃣ South-South Squad Goals: Think China and Africa teaming up on tech, or Southeast Asian nations turbocharging trade. 🚀 \"Collaboration beats isolation every time,\" Zahidi emphasized.
2️⃣ New Playbooks, New Wins: With old economic models getting a reboot, Zahidi sees emerging markets as the ultimate startup scene—ripe for bold investors and creative policy moves. 💼✨
📈 What this means for you: Whether you\'re a Gen-Z entrepreneur eyeing green tech or a student tracking global trends, these markets could shape the next decade\'s opportunities.
