Geopolitical tensions, protectionist policies, and trade fragmentation are reshaping the global economy. Tariffs and retaliatory tariffs have not only disrupted supply chains but also eroded public trust in governments, institutions, and the multilateral trading system.
In a post-globalization era, Economic Resilience depends on how well countries balance structural strength with institutional trust.
This PPT presentation introduces the Macroeconomic Fitness Matrix, a strategic framework designed to evaluate national economic performance based on 2 foundational dimensions:
1. Trust & Thrive – Captures the role of institutional confidence in driving investment, Innovation, and Operational Efficiency.
2. Balance & Thrive – Measures structural soundness through trade alignment, fiscal discipline, and productive capacity.
These dimensions form 4 distinct economic archetypes:
• High Trust / High Balance – Thriving, resilient economies with broad-based growth
• Low Trust / High Balance – Technically stable but inefficient, low-confidence systems
• High Trust / Low Balance – Reformable economies constrained by structural fragility
• Low Trust / Low Balance – Economies at high risk of stagnation and crisis
The slide deck also discusses tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, linkages between institutional Trust and economic optimism, and employment, productivity and wage trends in the US and European markets.
This PowerPoint presentation on Macroeconomic Fitness Matrix also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
