Uncertainty is now very high and will probably remain so: What strategies?

U ncertainty is probably going to remain high, given protectionism , the tensions between th e United States and the European Union and the United States and China , the uncertainty over growth and oil prices and geopolitical tensions. In a n environment of persistently high uncertainty: Governments and central banks should not assume that growth will remain strong, and should reconsider their strategies if growth becomes weak (ha ve they built up leeway to increase fiscal deficits or move to a more expansionary monetary policy?); Investors should think that a highly negative development in the financial markets is possible and should try to hedge against such a development with an eye to the nature of the financial assets that could provide this hedge (“safe” sovereign bonds, the dollar?).
