Will 2021 mark the end of the lowflation era?

Online | February 16, 2021

A key uncertainty for 2021 will be the response of inflation to the disruption caused by the pandemic and this year’s likely strong economic recovery. While headline inflation is already beginning to climb and looks set to rise further in the months ahead, our view is that any pick-up in underlying inflation pressures will be far less dramatic and that the likelihood of sustained above target inflation is still relatively small.

Air travel risks and recovery

Online | February 3, 2021

As vaccines are being rolled out worldwide air travel will start to return in 2021. However, there remain significant risks in the outlook, including from the new variants of the virus, while vaccinations alone may not be sufficient to fully restore traveler confidence. In this webinar, David Goodger, Oxford Economics and Brian Pearce, IATA will explore the revised outlook and the near-term risks for air travel as the sector begins the journey back to more normal trends.

Africa watchlist for 2021

Online | January 29, 2021

This year’s overriding macroeconomic theme will be one of uneven recovery. While somewhat synchronised, the rate and extent of recovery will vary considerably, both across and within regions. Our first webinar of the year identifies the key factors that will be driving these divergences across the African continent, also highlighting some potential wildcard developments that should be on every Africa analyst’s watchlist. We look at why Covid-19 will remain a concern throughout 2021, discuss whether the commencement of AfCFTA will have any significance, and show how the continent’s growth hotspot is moving west. We also unpack the likelihood of political upheaval in Nigeria – the continent’s largest economy and most populous nation – and identify a few contenders for Africa’s next major debt default.

Middle East: How strong will the recovery be this year?

Online | January 27, 2021

After a painful 2020, the outlook for the GCC region is looking up as we enter 2021. Covid-19 appears to be more under control than in other parts of the world, vaccines are being rolled out at pace and oil prices have rallied above $50pb, while there have also been positive policy developments such as the rapprochement between Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Qatar, the Abraham Accords and policy reforms in several GCC countries. These factors will contribute to a recovery in 2021 following the deep contractions driven by the pandemic and oil price slump last year.

UK & London Economic Outlook

Online | January 26, 2021

2021 began, economically, on the same socially distanced and locked-down note that characterised much of last year. But the rollout of Covid vaccines offers some light at the end of the tunnel. Just how hard have Covid and measures to control the virus struck the economy, and how enduring, or otherwise, might the damage be? And how realistic are hopes that vaccines and other positives could unleash a rapid rebound as pent-up demand is released and consumer and business confidence recovers?  Join us as we discuss our latest outlook for the UK and London economies, including a deep-dive into the tourism sector.

New virus variant, new economic risks

Online | January 14, 2021

News on vaccine progress has offered some light at the end of the Covid tunnel, but the discovery that more transmissible variants have spread outside the UK and South Africa means the downside risks to our global baseline forecasts are rising once again. In this webinar, we look at the implications of recent Covid-19 developments on global economic prospects for 2021.

In this webinar, we take a look at the different transportation bottlenecks which remain a serious problem to global supply chains.

US macro, industries, and regions webinar – How will Omicron’s spread impact the economic recovery?

Online |

2022 is off to a grim start, with Covid case rates already vastly exceeding previous infection waves, public officials in certain regions re-imposing containment measures, and consumers and businesses treading more cautiously. What’s more, executives across an array of industries are stressed by significant supply-side disruptions, pushing up prices and making it hard for them to meet demand. The unresolved health situation, a growing fiscal drag, and a more hawkish Federal Reserve will make for a delicate economic rebalancing this year. But while the recovery will face headwinds, the economy is in a very different place today than in 2020 and 2021. Tune in to learn more about what we think is in store for the US economy – with a spotlight on the path ahead for US industries and regions.

Key Themes for Cities in 2022

Online |

How different will 2022 be for the world’s major cities, compared with 2021? Will it be a continuation of partial and often erratic recovery, or will there be more of a take-off? Will working from home fade away, and will tourists be back in force? Might macroeconomic worries, plus adaption to climate change, cloud the picture? And are the answers the same for all major cities, or will trajectories sharply diverge?

Global real estate returns are looking healthy in 2022

Online |

After an impressive bounce back in 2021, global real estate returns are set for another good year in 2022 despite the lingering uncertainty over the Omicron variant. Returns will likely be buoyed by record levels of dry powder and rising investment volumes. Relative to other asset classes real estate returns look strong but many risks remain including from rising bond yields and renewed public health restrictions. In this context, we examine where the best opportunities lie in global commercial real estate markets over the next 5 years.
