Mubadala CEO Waleed Al-Saad outlines a resilient investment strategy that leverages the UAE's strong domestic cohesion to drive a global V-shaped recovery focused on long-term themes like AI, energy, and healthcare. While the US economy remains insulated by energy independence, unprecedented capital expenditure totaling trillions is reshaping asset markets through a shift from asset-light to heavy models, supported by a record $1.1 trillion in investment-grade issuance. The discussion further projects a labor market surge in blue-collar sectors due to physical AI infrastructure demands, while warning that US debt sustainability and European energy fragility necessitate a multi-faceted, open-architecture approach to funding future growth.

The State of the Global Economy: Global Capital Markets | Global Conference 2025

Amidst rising tariff uncertainties and unsolvable fiscal deficits, major global investors from Carlyle, Mubadara, and Prudential are shifting capital allocation toward defensive balance sheets and the fastest-growing asset class, private credit. While short-term market volatility is expected as corporations delay supply chain transformations, long-term strategies increasingly prioritize U.S. assets and emerging markets like India alongside massive infrastructure investments in AI energy and data centers. Panelists project that despite immediate headwinds from regulatory burdens and debt concerns, artificial intelligence will ultimately drive superior productivity growth compared to fiscal policy measures over the next decade.
