Il conflitto Russia-Ucraina: l’impatto sull’economia italiana e dell’eurozona

with Nicola Nobile | Online | March 30, 2022

Il conflitto in Ucraina ha portato ulteriori incertezze sulla ripresa dell’economia che, in uscita dalla crisi causata dal Covid-19, doveva già affrontare i rischi causati dall’inflazione e dall’aumento del prezzo delle commodities. Questi due aspetti sono stati ulteriormente amplificati dall’invasione dell’Ucraina da parte della Russia, che ha immediatamente fatto scattare delle pesanti sanzioni da parte del mondo occidentale.

Climate scenarios: Oxford Economics’ methodological approach explained

Online | November 9, 2021

Topic: Following the launch of Oxford Economics’ new Global Climate Service we look forward to walking you through the methodological approach to our climate scenarios in detail. Our bespoke scenarios are modelled using new climate policy levers on the Global Economic Model (GEM). The GEM stimulates a connection across three key factors: the climate, the energy system and the global macroeconomy. The model’s enhanced framework draws on our econometric analysis of the climate damage function – a relationship between temperature and productivity - and our latest research on the economic impact of carbon pricing. Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for EMEA, Americas and APAC friendly time zones: EMEA - Tuesday 9th November| 10:00 GMT Americas - Tuesday 9th November | 16:00 EST APAC - Tuesday 9th November | 10:00 HKT

Seeds sown for Australian apartment recovery

Online | October 27, 2021

The outlook for the apartment sector has brightened over 2021. The latest data points suggest the sector has passed the trough. The return of investors, the reopening of the international border and an affordability-based shift toward apartments in some cities will underpin unit prices outpacing houses over the coming years. A strong pipeline of institutional programs, the impending completion of major new public transport links across Australia’s major cities, and an emergent build-to-rent sector further cement this rosy outlook.

What can alternative data tell us about relative economic performance?

Online | September 29, 2021

Topic: The speed with which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the global economy forced economists to supplement their ‘traditional’ data sources with unconventional indicators. By tracking mobility data, stringency of restrictions indices and health outcomes and their relationship with GDP, employment and other key outcomes, we can now see in near-real time the economic fallout of the pandemic. The emergence of the Delta variant has made this intelligence invaluable. Asian countries with low tolerance levels for COVID are seeing growth momentum soften (and even reverse, in the case of Australia and New Zealand), while high vaccination rates have enabled an easing of restrictions in Europe and North America. In this webinar our Chief Economist, Dr Sarah Hunter and the Regional Manager for Macrobond Ian Hissey will discuss what we’ve learnt about the impact of COVID and restrictions on national economies over the last 18 months, what the alternative indicators tell us about current economic conditions, and how the recovery may evolve from here. Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for Americas, APAC and EMEA friendly time zones: APAC - Wednesday 29th September| 13:00 AEST EMEA - Thursday 30th September | 10:00 BST Americas - Thursday 30th September| 16:00 EST

Global outlook: Consumers are key to economic fortunes in 2022

Online | September 15, 2021

Topic: Next year, we expect the strength of global economic growth to increasingly be driven by demand-side developments, in stark contrast to the past two years when shifts in activity restrictions have been the dominant force. In this webinar, we assess the likely drivers of the recovery in 2022 as well as the likely underlying strength of the expansion. We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas: APAC - Wednesday 15th September | 10:00 HKT EMEA - Wednesday 15th September | 10:00 BST Americas - Wednesday 15th September | 16:00 EDT

Global industry outlook: supply chain bottlenecks cloud near-term prospects, but underlying demand is strong

Online | September 14, 2021

Global industrial activity has recovered strongly from the pandemic thus far. However, the recovery has encountered headwinds from material and component shortages as well as transportation bottlenecks, with several sectors not able to increase production fast enough to accommodate the strong rebound in demand. Downside risks to our forecast have also risen since our previous forecast update.

Frontier markets are still a buy

Online | August 24, 2021

The gradual return to pre-pandemic levels has marked a pause, but we think there is still value in high-yield sovereign bonds. We examine a set of frontier markets which are particularly attractive, including Egypt, Sri Lanka, and Argentina. In Africa, the post-Covid environment has intensified the pressure on public finances; we focus our attention on Ghana and Angola, both countries are facing a defining moment for their economic policies.

Mid-year update on Canada’s economic outlook: Primed for super-charged growth in H2 and through 2022

Online | August 18, 2021

Topic: Canada is on the verge of a growth spurt as widespread vaccinations permit a full reopening of the economy, pent up demand is released, consumers begin spending their excess savings, and fiscal and monetary stimulus continue in Canada and abroad. All provinces will fully recover by the end of this year, with Western provinces and metros expected to outperform the East after the disruption from the pandemic is overcome. Still, our new North American cities and regions scenario service suggests some downside risks will persist. Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for Americas, EMEA and APAC friendly timezones: Americas - Wednesday 18th August | 11:00 EDT EMEA - Wednesday 18th August | 10:00 BST APAC - Wednesday 18th August | 10:00 HKT

Online | August 12, 2021

Topic: With the US economy likely past peak growth, peak inflation and peak policy support, what should we expect going into 2022? Where are we in the business cycle 15 months after the Covid crisis trough, and what are the risks to the outlook given the accelerating spread of the Delta variant.

[Webinar] Remote working one year on and implications for Australian office property markets

Online | August 11, 2021

Australian cities are likely to be facing ongoing or snap lockdowns until the end of year until our vaccination targets are met. But what happens after?There’s still a huge amount of discussion and disagreement about how much remote working will be done in future and what the implications are for CBD office space.In this presentation we discuss the future of remote working in Australia and it’s impact on office markets and answering questions such as: What have we learned about actual change? What can lesson’s can be learned from Melbourne’s experience? If there’s a big negative impact, how is prime property likely to fare vs secondary? Some make the argument that prime assets won’t suffer as much – what does history tell us? And what about the impact of supply?

Reasons for cautious optimism as air travel re-starts (Air Passenger Forecast update)

Online | July 28, 2021

Travel remains restricted in many countries around the world, but an increasing number of routes are starting to open up. We will discuss the extent to which an easing of restrictions is likely in the second half of this year and beyond; on which types of route this is most likely; how much this restored capacity will be supported by passenger demand; and major risks to the outlook. Current trends will be described as well as the key drivers of demand for both a short- and longer-run outlook. Major risk factors and reasons for some continued caution in the outlook, including the potential proliferation of new variants, will also be highlighted.

Zambia’s national elections, a pivotal moment for the country’s economy and democracy

Online | July 27, 2021

The August 12 national elections could mark a key turning point for Zambia’s future. Under President Edgar Lungu’s rule, the business environment has become increasingly hostile, especially for foreign companies seeking to benefit from the country’s copper resources. Additionally, Zambia defaulted on its debt during the coronavirus pandemic and a deal with the IMF would certainly be useful – the election outcome will determine the conditions of any potential deal. Deteriorating economic conditions have left Mr Lungu struggling for political survival ahead of the polls, while his main rival, successful businessman Hakainde Hichilema, has positioned himself as a potential saviour of the economy. Questions about whether the two-horse race will be fair are raising concerns about the future of democracy in Zambia.

Global financial imbalances after the pandemic

Online | July 21, 2021

One of the biggest yet least understood features of the world economy are the huge financial imbalances across countries. Over the past decades, international net foreign assets – foreign assets owned by residents, net of domestic assets owned by foreigners – have exploded, affecting current accounts, exchange rates, interest rates, and more. That’s why it’s paramount for policymakers and market participants to understand where NFAs are headed.

Asia Pacific cities and regions: consumer spending and office-based employment in 2021 and out to 2035

Online | July 14, 2021

Asia Pacific and many of its cities are doing much to help lead the global recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. In this webinar we will look to see what that means for consumer spending and office-based employment in the region and its cities. We will ask how those factors may change in 2021 and out to 2035. Where will the spending be concentrated? And on what? Where will the new office jobs be? Will more of the region’s big cities come to challenge the likes of New York, London and Paris? And are there any cities and regions to watch?

The drive towards a greener future: Where does Africa fit in?

Online | June 29, 2021

The recent spike in commodity prices is largely attributable to supply constraints and supply-chain disruptions. Yet, some commodities will be key in the green transition and may thus experience sustained demand growth in the long term. This webinar will focus on these commodities in an African context by showing where they are currently being mined, and we investigate the potential role that the continent may play in the green revolution. We also look at how South Africa has been one of the world’s biggest beneficiaries of the commodity boom, but suggest that its current mineral profile isn’t particularly future-proof.
