Jens Larsen biography
Economics speaker Jens Larsen is one of the world’s leading authorities on geoeconomics, the fast-growing field where politics, economics, and global markets collide. As Practice Head of Geoeconomics at Eurasia Group, the world’s leading political-risk research and advisory firm, he helps business leaders and investors make sense of a world in which, after decades of relative calm, politics has once again become a primary driver of markets. Few people can connect geopolitical events, economic policy, and market outcomes with his depth and clarity.
Larsen brings a rare combination of experience across the public and private sectors. He spent more than a decade at the Bank of England, where he worked mostly on monetary policy and, in his final role, led the Macro Financial Analysis Division, providing critical financial-market analysis to the Monetary Policy Committee during the global financial crisis. He also served as the UK’s alternate executive director at the International Monetary Fund in Washington. In the private sector, he was a macro strategist at Wellington Management and managing director and chief European economist at RBC Capital Markets.
Where Politics Meets Markets
Today, Larsen focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the global economy: the lasting impact of the Covid crisis, reconfigured global supply chains, evolving macroeconomic policy regimes, the economics of climate change, and rising geopolitical volatility, from US-China competition to the end of the “depoliticised” era of markets. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and master’s and doctorate degrees in economics from the University of Southampton in the UK.
As a speaker, Jens Larsen is authoritative, lucid, and refreshingly practical, translating complex macroeconomics and geopolitics into clear guidance leaders can act on. He speaks on the global economic and market outlook, geopolitical and policy risk, the future of supply chains and industrial strategy, and how to build geopolitical and macroeconomic risk analysis into strategic planning. Audiences of executives, boards, and institutional investors leave with tailored, actionable frameworks for navigating the risks and opportunities emerging at the intersection of politics, economics, and markets.

Jens Larsen Keynote Topics
In a world shaped by the lasting effects of the Covid crisis, reconfigured supply chains, rapidly evolving macroeconomic policy, and mounting pressure from climate change, Jens Larsen examines the complex interplay between geopolitics and the global economy. Drawing on both private-sector strategy and public-sector policy, including crisis response at the Bank of England and international experience at the IMF, he unpacks the key trends reshaping economic landscapes and offers practical guidance on how businesses and investors can navigate emerging risks and opportunities where politics, economics, and markets meet.
What comes next for growth, inflation, interest rates, and markets, and what should leaders do about it? Drawing on decades as a central banker, chief economist, and macro strategist, Larsen cuts through the noise to give a clear, current read on the forces driving the global economy. He connects the big macro trends to real-world consequences for companies and investors, helping audiences plan with confidence amid uncertainty. Rigorous, balanced, and genuinely useful for anyone making decisions about the year ahead.
For decades, markets could largely ignore politics. That era is over. Larsen explains why the world is now structurally more politically risky, from the end of the unipolar order and US-China competition to the rise of interventionist, security-minded governments, and why it matters for markets. He shows leaders and investors how to interpret political events and policy shifts, and how to build geopolitical risk into their decisions. Essential insight for a world where politics has become as fundamental to markets as economics itself.
Globalization is being rewired. Larsen examines how reconfigured supply chains, industrial policy, trade tensions, and the drive for economic security are reshaping where and how business gets done, region by region. He gives leaders a practical framework for understanding the policy and regulatory shifts on the horizon, and for turning a more fragmented, contested global economy into strategic advantage. A must-attend session for executives navigating trade, sourcing, and long-term investment decisions.

What is geoeconomics?
Geoeconomics is the study of how geopolitics and economics interact, how political events, government decisions, and international rivalries shape markets, trade, investment, and the global economy, and vice versa. For most of the past few decades, markets could largely treat politics as background noise. That has changed: governments have become more interventionist around national security, supply chains, trade, and industrial policy, and structural shifts like US-China competition and the end of the "unipolar" world order have made politics a primary driver of economic outcomes. As Practice Head of Geoeconomics at Eurasia Group, Jens Larsen helps business leaders and investors understand this intersection, and build geopolitical and macroeconomic risk into their strategy and decision-making.
