AGENDA
8.45am Registration and coffee
9.15am Chairman’s introduction | Adrian Cooper
9.20am Global Economic Outlook – Inflationary and volatile: the new reality? | Innes McFee
Supply chain disruption, a new pattern of consumption and the tricky transition from public to private demand mean that 2022 is set to see the most uneven and volatile global economic recovery for some time. It also implies that fears about persistently high inflation have more foundation in some regions than others. But with the problem of excess global savings persisting, will there really be a lasting ‘regime change’ or will pre-Covid trends reassert themselves?
10.10am Coffee
10.30am Panel discussion – Which medium-term themes will define the economy?
Chair:
Adrian Cooper
Panelists:
Andrew Goodwin – Chief UK Economist
Richard Holt – Director of Global Cities Research
Jeremy Leonard – Managing Director of Global Industry Services
Innes McFee – Chief Global Economist
Which sectors and regions will be most insulated from higher interest rates, supply chain disruptions and labour shortages? How is Brexit changing the UK economy and will levelling up have a meaningful impact? How will hybrid working and technology shape the future of work and retail? How can economies meet the challenges of an ageing population?
11.15am Global climate change - The economic transformation to meet net zero | Felicity Hannon & James Nixon
Mitigation scenarios aimed at achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will help to slow global warming but require a radical transformation of economies. The sooner we act, the easier this transition will be. We will present Oxford Economics’ global climate change scenarios developed using the latest version of our Global Economic Model, incorporating new research on the links between energy demand and changes in temperature on economic activity.
