UK Macro, Cities and Industry Outlook

Online | May 20, 2021

Spring appears to have firmly sprung for the UK economy, with the speedy rollout of vaccines and a relaxation of restrictions promising a rapid rebound in activity from 2020’s Covid-related slump. But the outlook for the economy is hardly short of uncertainties. To what extent will households dip into savings accumulated during lockdowns and fuel a hoped-for consumer rebound? Will a resurgence of inflation prove a spectre at the feast? How worried should we be about the dangers of persistent “scarring” to the economy’s capacity as a result of the pandemic? And how will the housing market fare in a post-Covid world? Join us, as we explore these questions, and more, from a macro, sectoral and regional perspective.

Eurozone: A rebound in the second half of the year is still on the cards

Online | April 21, 2021

The eurozone has been heavily affected by the pandemic crisis and the economic recovery remains highly linked to the health situation. We still expect a strong rebound in the second half of this year, with lockdown restrictions being gradually eased and activity picking up pace across all the sectors of the economy. Tourism activity will also resume in 2021, but remaining below pre-pandemic levels. However, the magnitude of the rebound will depend on the success of the vaccine campaigns across the bloc; ongoing obstacles to vaccine production and distribution represent major downside risks for the recovery at this time. On the other side, a potential strong rebound in private consumption could improve the boost later this year and in 2022.

Inflation risks and the global monetary boom

Online | April 14, 2021

Are markets right to have become more nervous about inflation risks, and is the global monetary boom still no reason to panic? We examine these two linked questions, looking at the causes of current rapid money supply and credit growth, reassessing the arguments as to why this might not be a danger signal, and outlining our view on the extent of inflation risks over the next year or two.

Global outlook: Too early to write off a Goldilocks rebound

Online | March 22, 2021

Developments since the beginning of the year have prompted us to revise up substantially our global GDP forecast for 2021. But despite the more optimistic outlook and rising headline inflation, we are still sceptical that a sustained period of high inflation is around the corner. In this webinar we explore the likely recovery path from here and the risks around it as well as the likely response of policymakers to the recent economic and financial market developments.

Fed’s 2021 Challenges: Millions unemployed and fears of spiraling inflation

Online | March 18, 2021

The Fed’s new monetary policy framework is being tested by rising expectations of faster economic growth and inflation. However, despite improvements in health conditions, vaccine dissemination, and significantly more fiscal stimulus, we don’t foresee a “large and persistent” rise in inflation or quick recovery in the labor market. This means the Fed will maintain its very accommodative policy stance.

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.

[Panel Discussion] COVID-19: The demographic winners & losers within Australia

Online |

With the economic recovery well underway, the long term economic impact of COVID-19 is now receiving more attention. The closure of the international border has turned Net Overseas Migration negative – the pace of population growth has fallen to its lowest level in over a century. This shift is having a profound (and in some cases surprising) impact on the domestic economy, the housing market, and construction sector activity. In this panel discussion session, our Chief Economist Sarah Hunter, Principal Economist Sean Langcake, and Principal Building Economist Tim Hibbert will discuss the following: When and how we expect the border to re-open, What the latest visa application and grant data suggests about the recovery in overseas migration over the next five years, How this recovery will feed through to individual states, and what this will mean for economic activity, How internal migration and birth rates have responded to the pandemic, and what this will mean for the local economy. We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between the Americas, APAC and EMEA: APAC - Thursday 15th April | 13:00 pm AEST EMEA - Friday 16th April | 10:00 am BST Americas - Friday 16th April | 16:00 EDT
