on pastures can make their neat more environmentally friendly. this is dw business. i'm janelle de malott on welcome. it's the final day of the world economic forums, annual gathering in davos, switzerland, where the world's elite gather to try to discuss the world's thorn. yes. issues from the wash russian war and ukraine to the climate crisis. it's been a week of speeches, deal making and agenda, pushing amid wider criticism of the forums. exclusivity and excess at a time of economic hardships for many now our correspondent christy plaids and was there for all of it. and earlier i asked her what stood out to her the most from this week. but politicians speaking this week talked a lot about ukraine. we also heard from president's lensky himself, but the conversations here on the ground were quite different now. last doubles took place in may just a few months after the war in ukraine broke out. and that was a major topic on last year's agenda. it certainly was a major topic this year,

but to a much lesser degree, it's been almost a year since the brought the war broke out in ukraine. and there are other global issues that are crying out for attention. and there are philanthropists and jose here doing that, shouting for them, i'm talking about cost of living crises, food crises, the debt servicing crises and poor nations. so that's definitely one thing that stood out. we've also seen a much smaller attendance from crypto and tech companies. this year that really affects reflects developments we've seen in those markets in the last 6 months with higher interest rates. we've seen a lot of money fleeing that space. and we're certainly seeing that in the lower attendance, lower presence from tech crypto this time around. so christy, you've alluded to it somewhat, but this is obviously a glittering gathering. the world's top economic and political lead. this gathering is taking place at a time of the cost of living crisis, as he said, and recession fears that not sort of play into the agenda in any sort of productive way. yet, right now we're going into this week. we saw

a survey out from the world economic form of top economists and over to around 2 thirds of them. so they do predict a global recession in 2023. so quite pessimistic views. we're seeing a lot of different elements weighing on the global economy, higher interest rates that i mentioned also high commodity prices, other elements as well. we also saw quite depressing growth figures out of china this week. but that being said, we also there was a lot of chatter on the ground about china listening, it's 0 coven policy, and what that could effect that could have for the global economy. we want economist i spoke to said it's not just about selling to china. it's about selling through china and the 0 covered policy had really done a lot to damage to supply chains. so as the week went on, we did start seeing more optimism around how these global costs of living crises might turn around, a little bit more optimism looking at the global economy as a whole. so the world economic forum is still making the case for globalization. there, but just generally, what do you think the future of the world economic forum is? it's been bleeding heavy weight just for years. there's no joe biden. no,

she's been paying a lot shot. so the only g 7 liter there. what do you think? right. i mean, this is a conversation that gets going every year about the votes, and as you said, it's quite striking that there was only one g 7 liter here with the sort of gloomy economic environment we're seeing right now. certainly a lot of these leaders did not want to be seen up here in the abs, rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful, but that being said, the people you'll talk to on the ground will say there is no other environment like doubles in terms of networking you can grab a coffee with prime minister with a business leader with a philanthropist trying to push for example, for l g, b t q writes or for food security development. so on that level, the people here say that it's still useful. so there at least pushing for it to go ahead. thank you very much, christie plaids, and they're in davos for a safe travels home. now to some of the other global business stories making
