Global outlook: Consumers are key to economic fortunes in 2022
Topic: Next year, we expect the strength of global economic growth to increasingly be driven by demand-side developments, in stark contrast to the past two years when shifts in activity restrictions have been the dominant force. In this webinar, we assess the likely drivers of the recovery in 2022 as well as the likely underlying strength of the expansion.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Wednesday 15th September | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Wednesday 15th September | 10:00 BST
- Americas – Wednesday 15th September | 16:00 EDT
