Inflation risks and the global monetary boom
Are markets right to have become more nervous about inflation risks, and is the global monetary boom still no reason to panic? We examine these two linked questions, looking at the causes of current rapid money supply and credit growth, reassessing the arguments as to why this might not be a danger signal, and outlining our view on the extent of inflation risks over the next year or two.

- EMEA – Wednesday 14th April | 10:00 BST
