Global financial imbalances after the pandemic
One of the biggest yet least understood features of the world economy are the huge financial imbalances across countries. Over the past decades, international net foreign assets – foreign assets owned by residents, net of domestic assets owned by foreigners – have exploded, affecting current accounts, exchange rates, interest rates, and more. That’s why it’s paramount for policymakers and market participants to understand where NFAs are headed.
In this webinar, we discuss how demographic forces are a key factor that will cause tectonic shifts in the world’s global financial imbalances in the coming decades.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Wednesday 21st July | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Wednesday 21st July | 10:00 BST
- Americas – Wednesday 21st July | 16:00 EDT

Japan’s neutral interest rate is rising, but not by much
After the BoJ’s surprise rate hike in July, the key question now is how far the bank will go. To help answer this, we have estimated the long-run Japan neutral interest rate. We discuss how the secular forces are dragging down the neutral rate, despite some pick-up recently. We use this to shine a light on the BoJ’s upcoming policy meeting.

Global real estate outlook: Harnessing the power of megatrends
Join us for our latest webinar where we explore the outlook for global commercial real estate (CRE) through the lens of megatrends. This two-part session begins with a look at the latest global CRE outlook, providing our view on key markets, sectors, and investment opportunities. In the second part, we dive into the key findings from our latest research on the Megatrends Resilience Index, which identifies the four secular forces—demographics, technology, geopolitics, and climate—reshaping the CRE landscape. We will highlight how advanced economies such as Australia, Singapore, and the UK are best positioned to capitalise on these trends, and how various real estate sectors—from residential to industrial—will respond to these forces.
