Certainly, some of the experts routinely referred to “geopolitical risks,” such as the conflict between China and Taiwan, the possible victory of a right-wing populist in the French presidential election, or the Russian troop deployment on the border with Ukraine. All in all, however, it was said unanimously that after the most recent corona wave had subsided, nothing stood in the way of a strong upswing.
