Business Strategy
Economic Outlook for 2024 & Beyond
Online Presentation and Group Discussion
It is now taken as read by most commentators that geopolitics and economics are
intertwined in a way that few could have predicted in previous decades. The likelihood of
business disruption coming from factors external to business – such as war, social unrest,
environmental catastrophe, and the resulting government intervention – is higher than it
has been since the 1970s.
Inevitably, this means that our annual economic updates must consider a broader and deeper range of factors than mere monetary and fiscal policy.
By the end of 2024, we will be halfway through a decade that has already brought us a variety of radical shocks. This shows no sign of abating. Alongside the aftermath of Covid, ongoing military conflicts, trade wars and a stubbornly stagnant world economy, we have the looming challenges of ageing populations, climate change and the shift to Carbon Net Zero taking place simultaneously in most of the advanced economies.
The companies that survive and thrive in this environment will be those that can scan, understand, anticipate, and respond to the challenges and opportunities in these volatile and increasingly unpredictable times. At a time when you will be refining your business and functional support plans for 2024, this event will provide a timely perspective on the probable economic context for those plans.
To provide us with insights into this rapidly changing picture, our speaker will be a renowned economic commentator, who will help us to join the dots and provide a more rounded perspective on the direction of the global economy during the mid-2020s.
