Global Economist Gregory Daco to Headline Bermuda Risk Summit 2025

Hamilton, Bermuda, February 24, 2025: The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) announces must-attend keynote session featuring Gregory Daco, EY Chief Economist, at Bermuda Risk Summit 2025. With economies in flux and uncertainty shaping financial strategies, Daco will dissect the forces driving market volatility and reveal how businesses can position themselves for stability and growth in the year ahead.

Titled “2025 Economic Outlook: Navigating Crosscurrents”, this keynote will cut through the noise to deliver a sharp, data-backed analysis of macroeconomic trends, giving attendees the strategic intelligence needed to anticipate risks, seize opportunities, and remain competitive in an evolving global market.

Daco, a frequent contributor to the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Barron’s, and a regular guest on CNBC, Bloomberg, and NPR, brings a global perspective honed through years of experience. Prior to EY, he served as Chief US Economist at Oxford Economics, leading a team of high-caliber economists producing forecasts, analysis, and research on the US and global economy.

He said: “Businesses that can identify and adapt to shifting economic currents will be best positioned to thrive. At Bermuda Risk Summit 2025, we’ll explore the key trends shaping the global economy and what they mean for industries navigating an increasingly complex landscape.”

Craig Redcliffe, EY Bermuda Partner and Regional Insurance leader, said: “In an environment where risk and opportunity are two sides of the same coin, having access to clear, forward-thinking economic insights is invaluable. Gregory Daco’s expertise will provide industry leaders with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and drive sustainable growth as they shape the future with confidence.”

Kendaree Burgess, Managing Director of the BDA, added: “Bermuda Risk Summit continues to bring together some of the best minds in global finance and economics. Gregory Daco’s expertise will provide attendees with invaluable perspective on the macroeconomic forces influencing the industry in 2025.”
