Post Meeting Notes: Economic Update 2022 and Beyond
As the Covid-related restrictions ease in most of the advanced economies, there is the sense of a gradual return to normal. Our economic update this year therefore turned to the question or what kind of economic recovery we might expect.
To guide us through a complex mix of economic data, we were joined by David Smith of The Sunday Times. He posed four initial questions:
- Can the strong recovery continue, or is it already showing signs of petering out?
- How worried should we still be about Covid, not just in the UK but internationally?
- How much will the cost of borrowing go up?
- Has Rishi Sunak done with tax hikes, or could there be more?
In addition, he answered some questions from the audience on related topics.
