The prospects for the global economy have dimmed according to the results of our latest survey of chief economists. Inflation surged to levels not seen in a generation in response to a combination of demand-side and supply-side factors. This in turn has triggered a sharp tightening of monetary policy in many countries, including the US, threatening to choke off global growth. Meanwhile, real wages and consumer confidence are in freefall, adding further headwinds to growth and raising the prospect of social unrest.
How can we navigate the storm without sinking the ship? Please join this briefing on the Future of the Global Economy with chief economists from different regions to hear their take on the global economic outlook.
This briefing will be live-streamed here on 28 September 15.00 CET.
