This week's top stories of the week include: 0:14 Singapore’s journey to a nature-first city – Singapore’s efforts to expand its greenery began in the 1960s. Rapid urbanization had cut green space to just 36% but Singapore rebranded itself as a ‘Garden City’ and launched its first greening campaign. Today, it has preserved and reclaimed 78km2 of green space with a plan to add 10km2 more in the next decade. 2:16 How tariffs impact global trade – Tariffs are taxes on goods imported from other countries. Tariffs are put in place to shield domestic producers from competition and potentially raise government revenue, just like other taxes. But most economists argue that tariffs are counter-productive. 3:37 This robot teaches itself to work – It responds to voice commands and questions in everyday language such as, ‘Are there any fruits in the bin?’. It can even ‘self-reflect’ and learn on the job. This means it can re-learn relatively quickly, rather than through weeks or months of complex reprogramming. This robot is just one example of an ‘AI agent’ 5:48 DRC plans giant forest reserve – The Kivu-Kinshasa Green Corridor will stretch over 2,600km. It will cover an area almost the size of France, with a population of 31 million people. It was announced at Davos this year by the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

How will inflation, conflict and technological change shape economies in the year ahead? The International Monetary Fund’s First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath sat down with Meet The Leader at the World Economic Forum‘s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland to share what's next for global growth. She identified the statistics that she found most compelling and the risks and opportunities leaders must prioritize in 2025. She also described the pivot countries will need to make in fiscal policy to tackle historic levels of global public debt (levels that could hit the $100 trillion mark) and how "optimism bias" could stand in the way. This special episode of interview of Meet The Leader was recorded at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
