Nordics: Steady growth despite new trade barriers

We expect growth in the Nordic region to pick up in the near term but by less than we expected earlier this year due to new global trade barriers. We will unpack the drivers of our near-term macro, industry, and cities outlook for the Nordic economies.

On attending:

Discover the impact of higher global trade protectionism and policy uncertainty on the Nordic economies at a national, regional and sectoral level.
Opportunity to ask and engage with our economists.
Find out which regions, industries and policies are driving economic growth across the region.
