Will air travel take off again in 2021
Tentative recovery in air travel is still set to begin in 2021, but more slowly than in earlier forecasts and growth is far from uniform across markets. Vaccine roll-out is continuing, but the slow and uneven pace highlights that vaccinations alone will not be sufficient to fully restore pre-pandemic trends. The outlook and risks will be discussed by country and region, along with key drivers for growth.

A new world: how Trump and GenAI will impact global industry
This month, we have updated our forecasts for global industry to reflect the results of the US election, which will lead to large-scale changes to fiscal, tariff and migration policy. Alongside this, we have also updated our forecasts to account for the sectoral impacts of GenAI, where the gains will be spread unevenly across sectors and skew towards the services side of the economy. In this webinar, we will take these two major themes in turn and draw out their sectoral implications. We will also identify some of the other major trends that will shape industrial activity for the year ahead.
