Geopolitical flash points pose the biggest threat to the global economy and markets next year, according to a survey by Natixis SA.

“The biggest macroeconomic risk for 2024 is geopolitical bad actors who with one action can upset economic and market assumptions globally,” the poll of 500 institutional investors from around the world found.
