  In this episode of Tamimi Talks, Mariam Sabet sits down with Robert Willock, Global Director of The Economist Enterprise: Corporate Network, to tackle the defining question of 2026: is the global economy merely navigating a temporary shock, or are we witnessing a permanent, structural transformation? As regional conflicts rewrite long-held economic assumptions in real-time, Robert pulls back the curtain on how experts forecast a future where the "old normal" has effectively disappeared. The conversation provides a deep dive into high-stakes scenarios, ranging from the risk of further escalation to the hope for de-escalatory ceasefires that will dictate the financial landscape for months to come. This discussion is essential listening for those looking to understand the complex intersection of geopolitics and global trade, offering data-driven clarity for navigating an increasingly volatile market where "economic security" has become the primary driver of global engagement. Note: This conversation took place on Monday, 6 April, two days before the ceasefire was announced.
