SVT's Alexander Norén about the atmosphere in Davos

War, inflation and artificial intelligence.

There are three topics that characterized this year's edition of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

SVT's economic commentator Alexander Norén is in Switzerland.

- Everything is summed up quite well by what Carl Bildt said when I ran into him on the street yesterday.

I asked him about his gut feeling;

where is the world going and is the glass half full or half empty?

Carl Bildt replied that the world has not decided yet.

Zelenskyy met with Wall Street tycoons

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's visit to Davos was also a big topic of conversation, says Alexander Norén.

- What was interesting is that he met with a number of Wall Street magnates to convince them to invest in Ukraine because they want to show that it is still a functioning country despite the war.

Volodymyr Zelenskyi also raised the issue of whether the frozen Russian assets, approximately $300 billion, should go to the reconstruction of Ukraine and was strongly supported by British Prime Minister David Cameron.

And so there was this thing with artificial intelligence, AI, too.

- It has taken up a lot of space, says Alexander Norén.
