Tourism Economics presents early- year insights into European travel trends. They will look at how the Middle East conflict and a challenging economy are expected to shape travel behaviour and what this means for European tourism in 2026.
The conflict in the Middle East has fundamentally altered the economic outlook. Although the Nordic economies have a lower reliance on fossil fuels than the EU’s average, they too will be impacted through lower growth, higher inflation, and tighter financial conditions. In this webinar, we explore in detail the impacts of the conflict on the Nordic economies from a macro, industry, and cities perspective.
A prolonged Iran conflict isn’t just a geopolitical crisis – it’s a direct economic shock to Australian households, industries, and states. Our economists map the full cascade: from Strait of Hormuz closures to your fuel bill, mortgage stress, and local job market.
The Global Climate Service quantifies the macroeconomic impacts of climate scenarios against a stated policies baseline. These scenarios help businesses understand the implications of climate change and trade-offs of climate mitigation. This webinar will discuss Disasters and Policy Stagnation, a short-term acute physical risk scenario which we enhance this quarter to include physical damages in North America and Asia as well as Europe.
Travel to and from the Middle East has been disrupted by the Iran War, as airspace disruption and safety are immediate concerns while weak sentiment will impact destinations throughout the year. The effects on the global economy, oil prices and transit activity through the ME region will spillover to travel activity in other regions. There are still significant opportunities for some destinations within the downgrade to the global outlook. Join us as we discuss our latest forecast, setting out the impacts of the War on global travel, including risks and potential recovery paths.
Why is economic and social impact evidence becoming increasingly important for businesses of all sizes?
In the context of upcoming local elections, organisations are facing growing scrutiny from policymakers, communities, and regional stakeholders—making it more important than ever to clearly evidence and communicate their contribution at a local level.
Seismic shocks are hitting global trade simultaneously – and the map is being redrawn in real time.
A war in the Middle East has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off a quarter of global energy exports and sending oil prices surging. The US Supreme Court has torn up the tariff rulebook, collapsing country-specific rates into a blanket levy that hands windfalls to China and Brazil while leaving former dealmakers out in the cold. Finally, a growing bloc of economies is countering US protectionism with new and expanded free trade agreements – even as they continue to put up barriers against China in the same breath.
In a rapidly shifting environment, forecasting becomes essential. Join our team for the latest US economic outlook, inbound travel trends, and performance expectations across national and top 25 STR forecasts—all of which are being actively shaped by global headwinds and events.
. Disruption to energy markets is sustaining upward pressure on prices, complicating the inflation outlook, while weaker confidence and heightened uncertainty are weighing on growth. The tourism sector is also showing signs of strain as travel patterns adjust to increased risk.
In this webinar, we reassess how the conflict is shaping the global and regional outlook, explore updated scenarios for energy markets, and consider the implications for economic activity and tourism flows in the months ahead.
The evolving global energy crisis is likely to exert meaningful – but differentiated – impacts across the region, where various governments are likely to intervene to cushion the initial shock on households and businesses.
The Middle East Conflict has triggered a surge in commodity prices and clouded the economic outlook for both Canada and the world.
The Iran conflict is causing a wide-range of forecast impacts, from energy markets and inflation, to both US and global growth. During this session, our economists will demonstrate how Oxford Economics’ Global Economic Model can quantify alternative scenarios, showing how shocks such as oil supply disruptions transmit through trade, inflation, growth and monetary policy responses across the global economy. We will also walk through our analysis of the more granular impacts of the conflict on the US consumer and businesses.
Rising input costs and escalating geopolitical tensions are reshaping the U.S. industrial outlook. While AI infrastructure investment continues to support areas of rapid growth, the outbreak of geopolitical conflict has introduced new pressures through disruption to energy markets, supply chains, with impact on defence spending and the trajectory of business profits
The escalating conflict involving Iran is adding a new layer of geopolitical risk that threatens to derail the recovery in Europe. Rising tensions in the Gulf are pushing up oil and gas prices, complicating the inflation outlook and the policy choices facing the European Central Bank. In this webinar, we will assess how the conflict will affect European growth and inflation, exploring alternative scenarios for energy prices, and discuss what it means for the region’s industries and consumers in the months ahead.
This comprehensive webinar will explore Germany’s economic outlook after one year under the new coalition. We’ll assess the progress of last year’s fiscal easing measures and their effects on growth, with particular focus on the industrial sector. The session will also provide a forward-looking perspective, considering the potential implications of delayed military and infrastructure spending, as well as prospects for further structural reforms. Our aim is to deliver clear insights into the dynamics and risks shaping Germany’s economic trajectory.
We forecast Asia-Pacific industrial production to see a modest slowdown in 2026 but remain an outperformer at the global level. Amid subdued global trade activity, APAC industries will be supported by China’s deepening role in the regional supply chain as well as the region’s strength in AI hardware production.
The Iran conflict is already causing a wide-range of forecast impacts, from energy markets and inflation, to both regional and global growth. This webinar demonstrates how Oxford Economics’ Global Economic Model can quantify alternative scenarios, showing how shocks such as oil supply disruptions transmit through trade, inflation, and growth across the global economy.
Still sluggish domestic demand, the recently-concluded ‘Two Sessions’, and an ongoing Middle Eastern conflict all point to the need for more supportive Chinese policy this year.
In this webinar our Real Estate Economics and Cities teams will share their views on the dynamics of European economies and real estate markets at the city-level. We will look at the cyclical and structural factors shaping opportunities and challenges across the region’s key cities.
