Diana Choyleva biography
Economics speaker Diana Choyleva is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Chinese economy, and on how China’s rise and its deepening rivalry with the United States are reshaping global markets, finance, and geopolitics. An economist and geopolitical strategist known for challenging the consensus and thinking for herself, she has spent more than twenty-five years decoding China, giving business leaders, investors, and policymakers the forward-looking insight they need to navigate one of the defining forces of our age.
Choyleva is the founder and chief economist of Enodo Economics, an independent forecasting firm she established in 2016 to integrate macroeconomics, geopolitics, finance, and technology into a single analytical framework focused on China and its global impact. Before that, she spent sixteen years at Lombard Street Research, now TS Lombard, rising to chief economist and head of research and leading the firm’s expansion across Asia. Born in Bulgaria and trained in Western economics, she brings a rare, firsthand understanding of the meeting point between capitalism and communism.
Decoding China and the New Global Order
A prolific author, Choyleva has written four books on China and the global financial system, most recently Petrodollar to Digital Yuan, on China’s push to challenge dollar dominance, alongside China’s Quest for Financial Self-Reliance, The American Phoenix, and The Bill from the China Shop. A Senior Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis and a non-executive director at JPMorgan Asia Growth and Income, she is a regular speaker at the World Economic Forum and the Milken Institute Global Conference, and writes for the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Foreign Policy.
As a speaker, Diana Choyleva is sharp, independent-minded, and genuinely illuminating, cutting through the noise and the headlines to explain what is really happening in China and what it means for the world. She speaks on the Chinese economy and its outlook, US-China strategic competition, the future of the global financial system and de-dollarization, and the geopolitical risks and opportunities reshaping global business. Audiences leave with a clear, contrarian, and deeply informed understanding of the forces that will shape the global economy for decades to come.

Diana Choyleva Keynote Topics
China is attempting one of the most consequential economic transitions of the coming decade, shifting from an investment and export-led model toward one driven by domestic consumption. Drawing on more than twenty-five years decoding China, Diana Choyleva gives audiences a clear-eyed, contrarian assessment of where the Chinese economy is really heading: its growth prospects, its structural challenges, and whether Beijing's reforms can deliver. An essential, myth-busting briefing for any business or investor exposed to the world's second-largest economy.
The rivalry between the United States and China is the defining geopolitical force of our time, and it is reshaping trade, technology, supply chains, and capital flows. Diana Choyleva explains how US-China strategic competition is unfolding, where it is heading, and what it means for businesses, investors, and policymakers around the world. Sharp and deeply informed, this keynote helps audiences understand the risks and opportunities of a world increasingly split between two competing systems.
Could the US dollar's dominance of the global financial system be challenged? Drawing on her latest book, Petrodollar to Digital Yuan, Diana Choyleva examines how China, through digital currency innovation, strategic partnerships in the Gulf, and alternative financial infrastructure, is working to reshape the architecture of global finance. She unpacks what de-dollarization would really mean, how likely it is, and what it implies for currencies, capital flows, and global markets. A fascinating, forward-looking keynote on the future of money and power.
In a world of rising geopolitical rivalry, understanding politics has become essential to understanding markets. Diana Choyleva brings together macroeconomics, geopolitics, finance, and technology into a single framework to help audiences see the bigger picture: how geopolitical shifts, especially around China, are creating both serious risks and significant opportunities for global business. Independent-minded and refreshingly willing to challenge the consensus, she helps leaders anticipate what is coming and position themselves for it.
