The State of the US Consumer in 2025

with Alex Mackle, Barbara Byrne Denham and Michael Pearce | Online | January 24, 2025

The US consumer is in a strong position heading into 2025. But beneath the headline strength, there are question marks around how much consumer spending is being driven by high-income consumers, and the pressures low-income consumers face, as well as how the policy mix under the incoming Trump administration will affect consumer spending patterns. In this event we will be covering: Strength of the US consumer in 2025. High vs low-income consumer outlook. Implications of the election result on the US consumer outlook. Consumer spending outlook at the state and metro level. Key risks to the consumer outlook. Key strategy insights for B2C corporates from our outlook.

Webinar

Australian student accommodation on the up but headwinds are mounting

with Michael Dyer and Timothy Hibbert | Online | December 12, 2024

The Australian purpose-built student accommodation sector has begun its recovery from pandemic lows. New investment is on the rise, with an undersupply of beds having driven robust rental growth, supporting developer confidence. This is also showing through in rising asset transactions. However, the market faces growing challenges on the demand side, particularly increased uncertainty arising from an active policy environment for overseas students. Migration Strategy tweaks (including higher language standards and increased application fees) are already impacting and a new student cap looms from 2025. In this webinar, we will discuss recent events in the space, unpack the population and policy trends set to impact the market, and explore where the sector will go from here.

Webinar

UK economic key themes for 2025

with Andrew Goodwin and Edward Allenby | Online | December 3, 2024

The UK economy ends 2024 at a crossroads. After a surprisingly strong H1 2024, GDP growth almost ground to a halt in Q3. But at the same time, many forecasters – including the Office for Budget Responsibility and the Bank of England – have become more optimistic about prospects for 2025. We take a more cautious view and in this webinar we'll look at four key themes that we expect to shape the outlook for the UK economy in 2025.

Event

US Election Virtual Roundtable

with Ryan Sweet, Bernard Yaros and Debra D'Agostino | In-Person | October 30, 2024

We anticipate both the presidential and congressional elections to be a toss-up until Election Day, so our scenario approach is greatly valued by clients. Ryan and Bernard will also debate how the election results will impact the Federal Reserve, financial markets, global trade, industry winners & losers and the implications for the economy in 2025.

Webinar

What 2025 and a second Trump presidency holds for Latin America

with Tim Hunter and Mauricio Monge | Online | September 27, 2024

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.

Webinar

Global outlook: Ignore the doomsayers, but don’t expect 2025 fireworks either

with Ben May | Online | September 9, 2024

In this webinar we look at global growth prospects for 2025. We believe that recent jitters about US growth prospects are overdone, while US GDP growth will slow a bit, this will not lead to substantive deceleration in global growth. In fact, our baseline forecast is for the world economy to expand by 2.7% for the third year running next year.

Webinar

UK fiscal and monetary policy at a crossroads

with Edward Allenby and Andrew Goodwin | Online | August 12, 2024

It’s been an important few weeks for UK economic policy. New Chancellor Rachel Reeves has started to lay the ground for tax rises, beyond the increases set out in Labour’s manifesto, in the Budget on October 30. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years, and signalled that further cuts are in the pipeline. We will offer our take on where fiscal and monetary policy will go from here, and set out the impact the changes will have on our UK economic forecast.
