Eurozone key trends in 2022
The eurozone economy experienced a strong recovery this year in line with our expectations, and we expect another year of strong growth in 2022, as strong consumers and corporates take over the baton for growth from governments, as policy starts to shift from emergency support towards fiscal sustainability. But the European economy faces increasing headwinds going into the winter, which means a choppy recovery at the start of the year. A resurgence of Covid cases, high inflation and supply chains problems will continue to act as headwinds in the near term, but we expect these will gradually dissipate as we move further into 2022.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Wednesday 17th November | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Wednesday 17th November | 10:00 GMT
- Americas – Wednesday 17th November | 16:00 EST

What 2025 and a second Trump presidency holds for Latin America
Growth dynamics next year will differ across Latin America's six largest economies – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru – but most economies will experience an acceleration in growth. However, this contrasts with a consumer outlook which is losing steam, and instead we see investment and trade as driving higher growth in 2025. This will come with support from US and domestic monetary policy easing, as inflation will broadly be at target. We will explore the stories affecting individual economies, such as the risk of judicial reform in Mexico to investment and the impact of President Milei’s radical reforms in Argentina. November will bring the US presidential election, and we will examine the impacts on Latin America of a new trade war under a second Trump presidency.

Commodity outlook: How much further will prices fall?
Commodity prices have plunged in recent weeks, and investment banks are slashing their forecasts for next year. Demand has been weaker than investors anticipated, especially in China, albeit broadly in line with our own more bearish expectations. Strong supply from commodities such as wheat, copper, and crude oil has also weighed heavily on prices and contributed to inventory build. Gold has been an exception, with central banks driving its price higher and making it a bright spot for the complex. In this webinar, we explore the key themes facing commodity markets in 2025 and discuss the outlook for supply, demand, and prices.
