Global Policy Convergence Monitor 2026 · as of 11 November 2026
The "Great Reset", tested against the documents
What is documented, what is not, and what happens next. We mapped 68 countries and blocs across nine policy areas, from digital currency and digital ID to AI, carbon pricing, migration and health rules, using laws, regulations and official texts.
The answer in one line
No official document we read uses the "Great Reset" as an operating plan. What exists is a set of separate, dated laws and programmes, each with its own legal basis and timetable.
What you get
- Status by country and policy area: a stage code (0 to 5, rejected, rolled back) and an evidence grade for every cell.
- Dated calendars: 716 milestones, with what is fixed in law and what is only a target.
- Narrative fact-check: 19 popular claims rated against the actual texts.
- Implications for investors in every chapter: regulatory timing and sectors exposed.
- Sources you can check: numbered references to laws, treaties and official notices.
