(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 23-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Amundi is set to host the 16th edition of its flagship Amundi World Investment Forum in Paris on June 11–12, 2026, bringing together leading voices from across the global economic, financial, and policy landscape. The event is expected to gather more than 900 participants from 80 countries, reinforcing its role as a key platform for analyzing major global trends and their implications for long-term investment strategies.

This year’s forum, titled “Age of Empires? Power and Potential (Remastered),” will focus on the shifting dynamics of global power and the emergence of new geopolitical and economic structures. Discussions will examine how changing alliances, demographic transitions, technological innovation, and climate pressures are reshaping the global investment environment. The programme will also address the growing complexity of what is described as a “managed disorder” in the global economy.

Core topics include the future of the international monetary system and the resilience of central bank independence, the adaptation of economic actors to a more transactional and uncertain global order, and the pursuit of strategic autonomy by regions seeking greater control over industrial and technological capabilities. Additional discussions will explore financing challenges related to the energy transition and the sustainability of retirement systems.

Among the high-profile speakers confirmed for the event are Janet Yellen, Philippe Aghion, and James Bullard, alongside a broad lineup of global leaders from finance, policy, and industry. Other contributors include Kevin McCarthy, Stella Li, and Lord Adair Turner, among others, reflecting the forum’s cross-sector reach.

Valérie Baudson highlighted the forum’s long-standing role in interpreting global economic developments, noting that the current environment resembles an “Age of Empires,” characterized by rapidly shifting power balances and heightened uncertainty. She emphasized the importance of helping investors and partners navigate these changes through informed analysis and strategic insight.

Since its launch in 2010, the forum has established itself as a prominent international platform for economic dialogue, previously featuring influential figures such as Mario Draghi, Hillary Clinton, and Antony Blinken. The 2026 edition continues this tradition, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective on the forces shaping global markets and investment decisions.
