"I was honored to moderate the discussion among these world-class bankers and economists who graciously outlined their outlook on the global economy and regional investment prospects," said Chris. "It was a very special moment for me as one of the panel members, Dr. Warren Jestin, Chief Economist at the Bank of Nova Scotia and a renowned expert on the Americas has been a long-term mentor of mine.

"Given GardaWorld's international presence and scope of business activities and the diverse interest of the global audience at the World Strategic Forum, the perspectives shared were immensely valuable to all," he added.
