Semafor today announces the release of The Semafor View, a 40-page report on the state of the global economy at a moment of unprecedented turmoil. Published online and in print, the report debuts alongside Semafor’s 2025 World Economy Summit — the largest gathering of Fortune 500 leaders in the U.S. — held this week in Washington during the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings.

The summit brings together public and private sector leaders — including U.S. Cabinet officials, congressional leadership, global finance ministers, and central bankers — to advance dialogues that catalyze global growth and fortify resilience amidst uncertain, shifting global dynamics.

Crafted as a concise, fact-rich, and thought-provoking guide for time-strapped CEOs, serves as an authoritative forward-looking text in a moment of tough decisions. The report, released in collaboration with Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, builds on the success of Semafor Business, the World Economy Summit, and The CEO Signal, Semafor’s exclusive invite-only multiplatform membership for chief executives of the world’s largest companies, underscoring Semafor’s dedication to providing independent, transparent, and global insights to a decision-maker audience through its journalism.
