How do state choices ripple through markets and when do they trigger unintended cascades?
The Centre for Geopolitics & Economic Intelligence (CGEI) exists for a world in which political choices, market behaviour, sector conditions and external pressure alter the options available to countries and corporate participants. The Centre brings together expertise and judgement from both state-facing and market-facing experience.

The CGEI Universe
The Centre engages corporations and organisations whose decisions and positions are material to the work of CGEI. It does not represent that an organisation has reviewed or approved of its presence in the Universe. In the Universe are multinational enterprises (MNEs) and sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) with activities across national economies; sovereigns and organisations whose mandates, decisions or standards influence states, markets or sectors. The Centre retains the ability to engage any organisation, country or institution relevant to global events, whether the entity appears in the CGEI Universe or not. CGEI’s analysis of states and non-state institutions is independent of political affiliation, diplomatic preference or commercial incentives. The Universe is amended periodically as corporate structures change, states gain or lose influence, new institutions emerge, mandates change, markets develop, and new economic or geopolitical developments require attention.
