Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz Joins NBForum Helsinki 2022 Lineup

Joseph Stiglitz, an American economist and Nobel Prize winner, has been confirmed to join the Nordic Business Forum 2022 lineup.

Stiglitz is a world-renowned economist, recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics, and a professor at Columbia University. He is also a former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank and is known for his pioneering research on income distribution, climate change, macroeconomics, and globalization, among others.

This September in Helsinki, Stiglitz will wrap up the event with his remarks on the current world economic situation. He will, for example, share insights on inflation and interest rate development, explain what is ahead of us in terms of global trade, and point out the threats of recession. Stiglitz will also give his ideas on how business leaders can deal with these issues.

“The current macroeconomic situation has an enormous effect on the business environment our community of leaders and entrepreneurs operate in. Therefore, having Joseph Stiglitz join the lineup is of great value”, says Priit Liiv, the Interim Managing Director at Nordic Business Forum.
