BlackRock CEO Warns Economic Self-Reliance Costs

Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO, says in his 2026 annual letter that global moves toward economic self-reliance and onshoring will demand substantial long-term investment and raise costs for ordinary consumers and retirement savers. He also warns the AI boom could widen wealth inequality because leading AI companies are staying private longer, locking everyday investors out of early gains. He cites recent import-price and manufacturing-cost increases.
