WHY BOOK ECONOMICS & FINANCE SPEAKERS?

More than a decade after the world was rocked by the financial crisis, a range of new forces is shaping the global economic landscape.

Protectionism is on the rise; firms from emerging economies are globalising; businesses have to navigate new regulations and tax regimes; technology is disrupting traditional business models; and firms are having to engage with younger generations that have new expectations of work and consuming goods and services.

Through our global network, we have access to analysts, academics and policy-makers of the highest level, who can discuss both the big picture trends and the shorter term, geographically specific forces that business leaders need to understand. Topics include:

  • Global markets

  • Growth markets

  • International finance

  • The US economy

  • China’s economy

  • The UK economy after Brexit

  • Eurozone outlook

  • US-China trade war

  • Globalisation

  • The financial crisis – ten years on

  • Central bank policy
