UAE Leaves OPEC: Scenario № 1 or 2?

The announced withdrawal of the United Arab Emirates from OPEC and OPEC+ is more than a technical change in an oil producers’ club. It is a geopolitical signal, a market shock, and a challenge to the old architecture of energy coordination. According to Reuters, the UAE announced on 28 April 2026 that it would leave OPEC and OPEC+ effective 1 May 2026, marking a major shift for one of the group’s most important Gulf producers.

For decades, OPEC’s power was built not only on barrels, but on the image of unity. The organisation has always had internal disagreements: between price hawks and volume maximisers, between Saudi Arabia and other Gulf producers, between sanctioned and non-sanctioned states, and between political rivals inside the same cartel. Yet OPEC’s public message was usually the same: discipline, coordination and market stability. The UAE’s exit breaks that image.

GLOBAL EDUCATION FORUM 2026 will be held in Davos

GLOBAL EDUCATION FORUM 2026 will take place in Davos, Switzerland, as one of the key educational events within GLOBAL BUSINESS WEEK 2026. It will bring together school owners, founders of educational networks, university leaders, EdTech innovators, investors, franchise developers, education entrepreneurs, teachers, methodologists and policymakers who understand one simple truth: the future of education cannot wait for instructions from ministries. It must be created now. 

The world is changing faster than most formal education systems can reform. Artificial intelligence is transforming knowledge work. Children are growing up in a digital, global, entrepreneurial and unstable world. Parents are demanding better outcomes. Employers are looking for creativity, adaptability, leadership and problem-solving. At the same time, many schools are still built around industrial-age models: standardised lessons, slow curriculum reform, outdated assessment and limited exposure to entrepreneurship, technology and global thinking.

The Transformation of International Trade: The Funeral of "Old" Globalization or the Birth of Version 2.0?

By: 100%NEWS.TV Analytical Department

The global economy has reached a tectonic shift. For decades, we lived in a paradigm of "hyper-globalization," where the primary criterion was efficiency: produce where it is cheapest, sell where there is demand. However, the events of recent years—from the pandemic to the acute geopolitical crises in Ukraine and around the Strait of Hormuz—have proven that efficiency is worthless without security.

Today, we are witnessing not the end of globalization as a process, but a radical overhaul of its operating system.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Bohdan Gavrylyshyn, his Legacy will be performed again in Davos at the GBW

The 26th Global Business Week, which will take place in Davos from 9 to 17 July 2026, will be opened with a symbolic and deeply meaningful address by Christina Batruch, daughter of Bohdan Hawrylyshyn — the renowned Ukrainian economist, visionary, public figure, co-founder and first director of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

This opening moment carries special historical significance. On 19 October 2026, the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bohdan Dmytrovych Hawrylyshyn — an outstanding Ukrainian whose life and work made a profound contribution to Ukraine’s state-building, education, economics, public administration, international relations and civil society.

“Ukraine has always existed for me, at least in my thoughts. Wherever I was, whatever I did, I always thought about what useful thing could be done for Ukraine.”
— Bohdan Hawrylyshyn

Who Was Bohdan Hawrylyshyn?

Where Is It Best to Launch a Business in 2026: the United Kingdom, the UAE, Turkey, Asia or Europe?

In 2026, there is no single universally “best” place to launch a business. The right jurisdiction depends on what a company needs most: legal credibility, access to capital, tax efficiency, manufacturing depth, consumer scale, geopolitical safety, or speed of market entry. The more honest question is not which country wins in the abstract, but which location offers the best fit for a particular business model in a world shaped by war, sanctions, energy shocks and tighter financing conditions. That is especially important now because the IMF has cut its 2026 global growth outlook to 3.1% and warned that conflict-driven commodity shocks and tighter financial conditions are making business decisions more exposed to macro risk.
