Roubini Addresses Geopolitical Turmoil and Tech Resilience at Greenwich Economic Forum

Published on April 13, 2026

Nouriel Roubini, Chairman and CEO of Roubini Macro Associates, participated in a compelling discussion at the Greenwich Economic Forum in Hong Kong. Historically, geopolitical events like the Iran war have driven significant economic uncertainty. However, this year, the landscape feels particularly volatile.

Roubini emphasized the potential for escalation and regime change in Iran as a path to resolving ongoing conflict. Despite these issues, he asserted that a U.S. recession is unlikely. Instead, he forecasts a complex interplay between stagflation and growth driven technology.

The economist highlighted the current “tug-of-war” between rising consumer prices and the booming tech sector. This dynamic underscores the challenges facing policymakers who need to navigate between inflationary pressures and innovation-led growth. Roubini’s insights reflect a deep understanding of the economic landscape amidst both local and global events.

This conversation has significant implications for investors and policymakers alike. Roubini’s analysis suggests that immediate economic outcomes will be shaped not just but also influence of technology. As these factors converge, economies may face unprecedented conditions requiring adaptive strategies.
