The publication stated that the economy will be on military rails, as in 1945.
Danish Saxo Bank has published a traditional forecast of global events that may occur in the world next year, 2023, and affect the financial markets of the planet.
Experts believe that we should not wait for a return to the pre-pandemic economy. The main theme of the year will be strengthening the security of countries and building up military capabilities. The world has entered the phase of the war economy, and the beginning of this was laid by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
According to Saxo Bank Investment Director Steen Jacobsen, the military mentality will be comparable to the situation in 1945, the appearance of the Armed Forces of Europe is likely. So, the EU authorities will decide to abandon reliance on US military support and decide to put their combat potential in order. The EU will spend about 10 trillion euros to create its own army by 2028.
The second forecast of analysts concerns the UK, whose economy is experiencing obvious problems, including high inflation, recession, and so on. Mass protests and the coming to power of the Labor Party are likely, followed by the rejection of Brexit.
In France, according to the following forecast by Saxo Bank, Emmanuel Macron may announce his resignation, after which both the left and the right together with Marine Le Pen may come to power. Macron, like Charles de Gaulle, may return to politics in the future.
The fourth forecast of Danish analysts concerns a project to search for new energy sources, which is initiated by “billionaire technophiles” and leading US technology companies. Against the background of the growth of energy carriers, they will be engaged in projects comparable to Manhattan, whose participants created an atomic bomb. Over $1 trillion will be spent on it.
Due to geopolitical risks and huge inflation, investors will prefer traditional sources of financing, which will lead to an increase in gold prices.
Next year, the cost of one ounce of precious metal will be up to $ 3,000, which is twice the current price.
Finally, the Danes predict the rejection of the fight against climate change against the background of the energy crisis, and, as a result, the decline of the meat production industry. By 2050, its output may be reduced from 70 kg per person per year to 24 kg.
