Global economic outlook: Thriving in a new normal

In this webcast, the speakers will explore current economic conditions and provide strategic insights into navigating complexities and uncertainties.

In the first half of 2024, we have witnessed significant global economic shifts, shaped by a multispeed global economy, persistent inflation uncertainty as central banks navigate the “last mile” of inflation control, and the initial stages of cautious monetary policy easing. These dynamics are further complicated by key global elections, adding a layer of political uncertainty that influences both market reactions and policy decisions. Alongside this, sustained energy price volatility, evolving trade regulations and rapid technological changes continue to drive varied responses in financial markets across different regions. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions persist, significantly influencing global trade dynamics and shaping the strategic outlook for businesses and governments alike.

As business leaders face these evolving challenges, resilience, informed decision-making and agility remain more critical than ever.

Our speakers will discuss:

• Global economic outlook for 2024: impacts of market shifts and policy changes
• Geopolitical dynamics: trade and economic implications
• Inflation and policy responses: strategies of major central banks
• Recession indicators: identifying and mitigating risks
