Assessing Nature Risk and Quantifying Scenarios

with Jake Kuyer, Sarah Nelson and Aniska Bitomsky | Online | March 27, 2025

Nature degradation and biodiversity loss pose material challenges to corporate strategy and risk management. We will discuss how we assess nature-related risks, impacts and dependencies, and explore their implications for companies' business operations including the supply chain. Join us to hear how we model potential changes to the future state of nature in our newly developed scenarios, which offer both qualitative narrative and quantitative analysis, and get an insight into how these changes might feed through to the economy and international supply chains. Our analysis can support robust transition planning and help companies align with TNFD and SBTN.

Sustainability risk and business resilience: How to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage

with Jake Kuyer and Debra D'Agostino | Online | March 20, 2025

Join Debra and Jake for a discussion on what exactly sustainability risk is, what its implications are for business resilience, and how better understanding this risk may be turned into a competitive advantage. Economics can help provide clarity in a highly uncertain world - we explore how much risk is ‘hidden’ in company’s supply chains, what types of events might disrupt business-as-usual, and how economics can be applied to provide insight to manage this business risk.

Sustainability risk is business risk​

with Jake Kuyer and Debra D'Agostino | Online | December 17, 2024

Sustainability risk is business risk. Companies are vulnerable to disruption to their business activities from a wide range of sources, this includes climate change, nature loss, and human rights issues. Much of this exposure to risk is ‘hidden’ as it materialises in a company’s supply chain. For example, a company may be exposed to economic disruption many tiers up their supply chains from sustainability-related risks in seemingly unrelated countries and sectors. This disruption can work its way to the company’s operations affecting its ability to conduct business, and reducing its ability to make a profit. Better understanding and managing these risks will enable better risk management, and more resilient businesses. Join us for a 30-minute discussion as we explore the often-hidden sustainability risk to businesses, including what they are and how they can be identified and managed.

How to measure indirect climate and sustainability risk across your portfolios

with Jake Kuyer and Ilana Gottlieb | Online | October 8, 2024

Climate and sustainability risks are not only material for business operations, but they are also critical factors for investing and portfolio management. Often embedded in complex global supply chains, we’ll explore how a deeper understanding of these hidden risks can help you mitigate potential threats and maximise risk-adjusted returns. Key Topics: • The growing importance of climate and sustainability risks in portfolio management. • How hidden supply chain risks can affect the performance of your portfolio. • A demonstration of our advanced capabilities, designed to analyse and manage climate risks. • Results from a back testing experiment using real market data that highlights how applying our ‘indirect climate risk scores’ can boost portfolio performance.

Navigating supply chain decoupling – prioritizing opportunities with OE’s Market Compass tool

with Alex Mackle and Martina Bozadzhieva | Online | May 30, 2024

As companies de-risk their supply chains, many are looking at ways to reduce their dependence on China, and to create more flexible, regionalized supply chain structures. In this webinar, we look at the latest trends in supply chain restructuring and introduce OE's Market Compass tool. The tool allows companies to compare countries as manufacturing investment destinations using OE's proprietary data and forecasts. We'll explore how different countries compare in our global ranking and how companies can take a data-driven approach to evaluating manufacturing localization options.

How to integrate nature-related risks into your business decisions and reporting requirements.

with Carina Manitius, Jake Kuyer and Shilpita Mathews | Online | May 23, 2024

An economics approach is crucial when trying to understand nature-related risks and their implications for business operations. We can help companies understand their nature-related impacts and dependencies, including the supply chains they depend on. We can also facilitate robust transition planning and support you in navigating nature, climate, and sustainability reporting, such as the EU’s ESRS regulations and emerging TNFD and SBTN guidance.

A health-check on China’s real estate and construction industries: Are we still on life support?

with Louise Loo, Nicholas Fearnley and April Skinner | Online | April 2, 2024

China’s property downturn continues to weigh on the outlook. Can we be hopeful that the economy will successfully decouple from its old property-led growth model? How much of an offset can state-led construction provide as authorities look to prop the economy up? Join us in a discussion between Louise Loo our China Macro-economist and April Skinner our China Construction economist, as we address some of the FAQs around China’s housing and construction sectors and take a pulse-check on property’s multi-year correction process. Key talking points: How far does China’s real estate downturn have to go? What are the longer term implications for building construction? How much can state-led infrastructure projects prop up the economy? Will the “New Three" Industries keep the economy afloat? Supply chain risks and what this means for costs and construction.

Industry to rebuild momentum in 2024

with Abby Samp and Max Anderson | Online | March 14, 2024

As 2024 progresses global industrial activity should pick up and begin to rebuild some momentum. Pass-through from lower wholesale energy prices, a move past the peak of impacts from past rate hikes and a trough in the de-stocking cycle should benefit manufacturing activity in the advanced economies. In China, manufacturing activity is likely to be highly asymmetric in 2024, with growth concentrated in the energy transition adjacent ‘New Three’ industries, while the ongoing property sector slump will curtail construction and its supply chain.

Asia’s medium term growth outlook and its implications for major cities

with Arup Raha and Scott McEwan | Online | February 28, 2024

Over the next five years, economic growth across Asia is likely to diverge especially with two of the giants moving in opposite directions; China slowing and India starting to realise its potential. This has implications for how the cities in these two countries are likely to expand. Major cities in southeast Asia area expected to perform relatively well but there are contrasting fortunes elsewhere. For example, in advanced Asia, the major cities of Australia should exhibit an impressive rate of jobs growth. Our expectations for the likes of Melbourne and Perth contrasts starkly with major East Asian cities in Japan and South Korea, where the pressures of ageing populations is dragging on the potential for growth in output and jobs. We present both a top-down medium-term macro outlook and tie that to how major cities in Asia are likely to develop over the next 5 years.

China and India – shifting issues, shifting roles

with Alexandra Hermann and Louise Loo | Online | June 21, 2023

China’s population has peaked and its industrial engines have struggled despite this year’s reopening. The longer-term outlook is beset by meaningful structural headwinds, an uncertain regulatory policy, geopolitical tensions with the US. Enter India, a vast and young workforce has the potential to benefit from the ongoing supply chain diversification away from China. We provide our takes on the near- and medium-term outlooks for both economies and discuss how the two economic giants could both co-exist and compete in this new economic world order.

A Globally Tight Supply Chain; what could it mean for your demand and supply?

with Darren Anderson and Caroline Franklin | Online | October 27, 2022

The global trade market has undergone a significant upheaval in the past three years, but in a largely synchronous fashion with what was first a global slowdown in spending and then a rapid uptick in consumer goods and building materials. A third wave appears on the horizon as central banks are consciously seeking to temper demand.

US macro, industries, and metro outlook – Challenges mount but recession hasn’t arrived

with Oren Klachkin and Ahmed Abdelmeguid | Online | August 11, 2022

The recovery’s best days are clearly in the rear-view mirror as the economy confronts persistently hot inflation, tighter financial conditions, ongoing supply chain stress, downbeat sentiment and softening spending. US industrial growth has slowed in the face of these challenges and services are not immune from these headwinds. Odds of a recession are rising, but there is still a pathway to a soft landing. Tune in to this webinar to learn where the US economy is headed through the rest of 2022 and into 2023 – with a focus on the path forward for industries.

Global uncertainties and the outlook for cities in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America

with Richard Holt and Scott McEwan | Online | July 19, 2022

2022 is proving to be yet another highly unpredictable year—but also one with large variations by global region and hence across different cities. Some are seeing strong tourism recoveries while others are struggling to emerge from lockdown. Some face manufacturing supply problems, while others are experiencing tech booms. Inflation is a major issue for many, but not all. In this webinar we will explore and explain the differences, and discuss how quickly, if at all, city economies will return to normal.

US Economic Outlook: Pathway to a softish landing

with Kathy Bostjancic and Nancy Vanden Houten | Online | July 12, 2022

Recession headwinds have increased as the Fed is more aggressively front-loading rate hikes due to very sticky and elevated inflation. Despite the possibility of two consecutive quarters of negative growth, there still remains a pathway, albeit narrowing, toward a softish landing. The easing of labor and product supply constraints and a still sizeable pool of consumer savings should underpin the expansion.

Eurozone outlook: Between recession risks and a booming summer

with Angel Talavera and Tomas Dvorak | Online | June 22, 2022

The list of risks facing the eurozone economy continues to grow. With inflation being stronger and more entrenched that previously expected, the ECB will be forced to implement a stronger monetary tightening. Meanwhile, the industrial sector continues to reel from persistent supply chain issues while consumers are suffering a massive hit to real incomes as a result of the inflation surge. Simultaneously, some sectors of the economy continue to outperform, with services, and in particular the outlook for the tourism sector looking bright ahead of the summer season.

Stagflation! We reveal EMs most vulnerable to nasty supply shock legacies

with Gabriel Sterne and Lucila Bonilla | Online | May 12, 2022

The great moderation of previous decades has given way to a period of ghastly aggravation. The key drivers of good times were good policy, good luck and structural change. Now things have reversed, and we reveal those EMs most at risk of longer term macro-instability, based on the views of our country economists and a simple scoring system based on key performance-metrics.

US Outlook: Shifting headwinds

with Kathy Bostjancic and Lydia Boussour | Online | April 12, 2022

The US economy faces shifting headwinds - Higher inflation and greater uncertainty triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine are overshadowing current concerns about Covid. We anticipate real GDP will grow by 3.2% this year and slow to 2.0% in 2023, but risks are tilted to the downside given the intensifying inflation shock, increased supply chain stress, a more hawkish Fed, and a large fiscal drag.
