Economic key themes of China and India for 2025

with Alexandra Hermann and Betty Wang | Online | December 17, 2024

Increased uncertainty about trade disruptions and the policy mix shape the outlook for 2025 globally. China will likely be at the centre of a possible escalation of the trade war that already started during Trump’s first term. Domestically, China also faces lingering deflationary risks. Authorities have launched short-term policy stimulus, but demand-side reforms like improving social security nets are still lagging. India, meanwhile, with its largely domestically focused economy will likely be less impacted by the new US administration's fiscal and trade policies. Key to watch will be how strong private consumption demand will grow against a backdrop of structurally weak labour markets.

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.

Commodity key themes 2025: Another volatile year for commodity markets as Trump 2.0 looms

with Stephen Hare, Kiran Ahmed, Diego Cacciapuoti and Samuel Bakst | Online | December 16, 2024

In this webinar, we explore the key themes driving commodity markets in 2025. We expect the US will impose blanket tariffs on Chinese exports next year, and that China will retaliate, weakening economic growth and commodity demand. Trump will also likely make major energy policy announcements early next year, intending to expand US oil production and boost LNG exports. We anticipate the US dollar will strengthen next year, putting further downward pressure on commodity prices. Furthermore, China, by far the largest consumer of commodities and with a structurally slowing economy, will drag on commodity demand next year without further stimulus, while OPEC+ faces another challenging year as the group sets to unwind production cuts.

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.

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.

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.
