NEW YORK -- Globalization as we know it has come to an end with the Russian invasion of Ukraine as political and security concerns play a larger role in corporate decision-making, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently told Nikkei.

"Access to capital is a privilege," Fink said of Russia's isolation from global markets during the war. The rise of stakeholder capitalism is pushing companies to mount their own responses to the situation, he noted.
