Global scenarios: Consumer boom

Recent months have seen rising hopes of a consumer boom as savings accumulated during the pandemic are unwound. We examine this key upside risk, as analysed in the latest Global Scenarios Service, as well as potential threats to the global economy from the pandemic and inflation.

We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:

  • APAC – Tuesday 8th June | 10:00 HKT
  • EMEA – Tuesday 8th June| 10:00 BST
  • Americas – Tuesday 8th June | 16:00 EST
