Geopolitical Fragmentation and Currency Diversification

The global economic landscape is undergoing a profound transformation driven by increasing geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and shifts in international alliances. This fragmentation is challenging the dominance of traditional reserve currencies and forcing central banks and sovereign wealth funds to re-evaluate their currency portfolios. This course provides a deep dive into the complex dynamics of geopolitical risk and its direct impact on reserve management strategy, focusing specifically on the imperative for enhanced currency diversification. Participants will learn to analyze these non-market risks and construct resilient currency portfolios that can withstand future shocks. We will explore scenarios where geopolitical events trigger rapid shifts in capital flows and asset valuations, demanding a proactive and flexible approach to portfolio construction and risk mitigation.
