Webinar
A new world: how Trump and GenAI will impact global industry

with Nico Palesch and Sean Metcalfe | Online | December 13, 2024

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.

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.

Webinar
Are African countries’ fiscal efforts strong enough to restore debt sustainability?

with Irmgard Erasmus and Pieter Scribante | Online | August 29, 2023

May’s downside surprise for inflation caused markets to rein in their expectations for the future path for Bank Rate. But we’re not out of the woods yet, with our recent research highlighting why the second round effects of higher energy prices are likely to prove more persistent than the initial direct and indirect impact. In this webinar we react to the August MPC meeting and assess the outlook for inflation and interest rates.
