Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon, will once again headline the Bermuda Risk Summit 2026.

His 2026 keynote — Great Rebalance: The Next Phase of Global Growth — will offer a forward-looking assessment of the global economic environment, analysing monetary and fiscal shifts, demographic transitions, labour-market pressures and the increasingly decisive role of artificial intelligence in boosting productivity.

The event takes place March 9 to 11 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club.

Organisers, the Bermuda Business Development Agency, said Mr Daco’s 2025 session, Navigating Crosscurrents, was one of the highlights of last year’s summit.

Mr Daco said this year the focus will shift from diagnosis to adaptation, as supply shocks increasingly drive economic outcomes and uncertainty becomes a constant.

“Business leaders and policymakers will need to recalibrate strategies amid evolving financial conditions, technology-led productivity gains and a more fragmented global demand landscape,” he said.

He added that the annual summit offers a timely forum to assess where resilience is emerging, where vulnerabilities persist and how organisations can position for sustainable progress

“His return reflects the summit’s growing stature as a platform where senior leaders gain direct insight into the economic forces influencing capital, risk and long-term strategy,” the BDA said.

This year marks EY’s fifth consecutive year as headline sponsor.
