The world has become increasingly complex, along with perceptible political and economic uncertainty in many parts of the world. Against this backdrop it is important that market participants – especially global players like BASF – will develop a clear understanding of opportunities and challenges in order to take the right decisions. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy helps us to understand fundamental macroeconomic developments, to assess long-term trends and to analyze the driving forces and challenges of global economic developments. It provides a platform bringing together international expertise from economics and politics, from science and from the business world.
The Society has been established in 1913 and since then it is assisting and advising one of the important centers of global economic research, education and consulting. Being the founders grandson, I happily contribute to the Society and I am glad so see the up to date role and mission of the Institute as well as the successful work of its management and staff.
