To celebrate this milestone, we are offering our blog & social media followers the exclusive opportunity to watch all 3 sessions from the conference. To watch the first session ‘Inflationary and volatile: The new reality?’ by Innes McFee, complete the form today. Subscribe to the blog to be notified when we release session 2 (‘Can the recovery survive without policy?’) and session 3 (‘The economic transformation to meet net zero’).
