Straujāka ekonomikas izaugsme, stiprāka drošība, konkurētspējīgāka izglītība un lielāks atbalsts ikvienam Latvijas cilvēkam. Tāds ir bijis mans mērķis, uzņemoties valdības vadītājas amatu. Valdība ir strādājusi sarežģītos apstākļos – gandrīz katru gadu ir bijušas vēlēšanas, karš Ukrainā un Tuvajos Austrumos, mainīga ekonomiskā situācija un īpaši sarežģīta starptautiskā vide. Tomēr kopā ar Saeimu esam paveikuši daudz. Man ir bijis svarīgi, lai cilvēki Latvijā – gan valsts pārvaldē, gan privātajā sektorā – justos ieraudzīti, sadzirdēti un cienīti. Lai ikviens šeit var strādāt, veidot ģimeni un dzīvot kā Latvijas patriots. ℹ️ Mana uzruna Saeimai un ziņojums par valdības paveikto šeit: mk.gov.lv/lv/jaunums/min…

#DavosWithCNBCTV18 | Geoeconomic tensions top business risk for 2026, says @wef's Saadia @Zahidi, adding the global economy has been far more resilient than expected, with India emerging as one of the “shining lights.” @ShereenBhan | #Davos2026 #WEF cnbctv18.com/world/davos-20…

I warmly welcome the landmark MoU between the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and the World Economic Forum to launch the Skills Accelerator in India. This collaboration strongly complements the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by integrating education with skilling, fostering lifelong learning, and aligning curricula with future industry needs. This initiative will significantly benefit India by bridging critical skill gaps, enhancing the global employability of our youth, and ensuring that India’s talent pool is aligned with emerging domains such as artificial intelligence, green energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. By promoting industry-linked training, mutual recognition of qualifications, and innovative financing for skilling, the partnership will strengthen our TVET ecosystem, support inclusive growth, and position India as a global hub for skilled manpower and innovation in the journey towards Viksit Bharat @2047. @MSDESkillIndia @wef

Whether it’s truly a “bubble” or not, this #AI investment cycle may be headed for a correction. A chief economist breaks down what that might look like. #wef26 #ChiefEconJan26 weforum.org/stories/2026/0…

Global risks in 2026 are increasingly interconnected. Geopolitical, economic and technological pressures are reinforcing one another. Ahead of #wef26, I discussed what this means for cooperation and resilience with @flacqua on @Bloomberg. Watch here: bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

Our Annual Meeting in #Davos next week will address these issues directly and objectively under the theme “a spirit of dialogue”. Read the report: weforum.org/publications/g… #Risks26 #WEF26

The report highlights both the scale of the potential perils we face and the shared responsibility leaders carry to shape what comes next.

The @wef’s Global Risks Report 2026 is out today, offering a clear early warning as a new age of competition compounds global #risks.

Don’t be fooled — everything has changed for the global economy. My piece in the @FT. ft.com/content/9c8212… via @ft

As part of her participation in the @wef's Annual Meeting of the New Champions, H.E. Dr. Rania A. Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and Int'l Cooperation, met with Ms. Saadia Zahidi (@zahidi), Managing Director at the WEF. moic.gov.eg/news/2323 #AMNC25

World Economic Forum tells #ICNCongress of potential “3.1 trillion GDP return” from investing in #nursing and social jobs, in #US alone! @WEF Managing Director @zahidi says funding nursing can yield tripled rewards in #GDP returns, social mobility and #gender parity. #ICN2025

Happy to meet my friend @wef MD @zahidi in Washington for the #SpringMeetings for productive discussions on the future of growth & jobs.

As elections around the world in 2024 showed, public sentiment about stagnant economic prospects has been a key factor in voting behavior. My piece for @ForeignAffairs: we must focus on quality growth not just more growth for growth’s sake. foreignaffairs.com/how-get-right-…

Fastest growing and fastest declining jobs, 2025-2030 —@WEF

The @wef’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 reveals 170M new jobs by 2030 but 92M displaced—a net gain of 78M. Tech, demographics & green shifts demand new skills: 60% of workers need upskilling. Urgent action vital to ensure equitable pathways.
