Nordic economic outlook webinar

30 April 2026 – 10.00am BST
online

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.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
