Calendar – Your eco-financial major events for the coming months

Last month our team published its calendar of future global geopolitical events up to January 2025. The calendar was so full that we were unable to mention the economic, monetary and financial events that are just as important to our world’s activities. The worlds of the economy, finance, the stock market, politics, etc., wait feverishly for the monthly meetings of the banks (for which we offer you a timetable of central banks other than the FOMC or the ECB), the decisions of OPEC or economic forums such as Boao (what on earth is that?) or Davos. Economic forums, central bank meetings, financial events: a small selection from the eco-fi world for the coming months.

OCTOBER 2024

Reminder: 9 October: Meeting of BRICS+ Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors – 10 October: ASEAN-Japan, ASEAN+3, ASEAN-Australia, ASEAN-Republic of Korea (South Korea) Summits, Vientiane, Laos[1]. 11-13 October: IMF and World Bank Annual Meeting, Marrakech, Morocco (Regional focus on the diversification of Middle Eastern economies) – 14 October: International Investment Summit, London.

14-20 Oct.  Global: Paris Motor Show, France. The world’s oldest and still busiest motor show, and an international showcase for the giants of the automotive industry, the Paris Motor Show opens its 90th edition under the banner of the global automotive crisis, at a time when the forced switch to electric vehicles is meeting with increasing resistance from European and American manufacturers, and when customs barriers are being built in an attempt to prevent the Chinese invasion of a dying market (new vehicle sales in Europe are in freefall)[2].
