Global Economic Outlook Conference 2027
Navigating volatility in a world reshaped by AI, geopolitical risk, and policy shifts
The global economy continues to face geopolitical volatility and fragmentation, while being reshaped by structural factors like AI, ageing populations, and fiscal pressures.
In the face of geopolitical shocks and uncertainty, how resilient are growth drivers and where can we expect the best growth opportunities in 2027? How do politics, rising bond yields, and structural factors affect governments’ room for fiscal manoeuvre and central bank policies? And what do these dynamics mean for consumers, businesses, investors, and sovereigns?
Join us to gain a clearer perspective on this nuanced economic landscape and what it means for prospects across countries, sectors, cities and asset markets.
