For a year the WEF moves from Switzerland to Singapore (here is the message). Change that too stable The Corona numbers in central Switzerland and the secure deployment in the Bürgenstock near Lucerne nothing. That’s a disgrace for hotels in central Switzerland and quite ungrateful to WEF founder Schwab, who has benefited from Switzerland for decades.

Bloss: The WEF has long become a fair for the vanities of a world elite. Heads of state, directors of international organizations and managers of multinational corporations publicly pat each other on the shoulder and speak in front of the cameras on sustainability, stakeholdersValor and climate change as they move into the next backroom deal.

The country has successfully demonstrated how a market economy can turn a swamp into a thriving city-state.

So shortly das Overcome the virus and rebuild long-term growth, even for non-WEF participants, not in Switzerland or Singapore.
