We are delighted to be hosting our 2023 Autumn Members' Roundtable again this quarter to discuss our latest forecast and analysis.
In advance of the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, our last forecast for 2023 will examine the outlook for the UK economy. Is a recession likely? Will the rate of inflation continue to fall, and when might it return to target? What is happening in the labour market? How can policymakers reverse the declining investment rate to address regional inequalities and promote long-run economic growth?
Globally, we will look to answer questions around whether we’ve seen the peak of the global monetary policy tightening cycle. If so, how long can we expect policy rates to remain elevated? Will tight policies lead to a deeper recession in the Euro Area? How severe is the impact of the slowdown in China? Will the global economy be weaker in 2024 than the already weak 2023? When will inflation rates return to target levels?
This event will be chaired by Wendy Carlin.
