IPC Quarterly Outlook Webinar
September 11, 2023 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In the face of numerous challenges, the global economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience this year, notably in the United States, where it has surpassed many anticipations. The ongoing efforts of central banks to curb inflation have cast a shadow of uncertainty over economic activities in the back half of the year.
The global growth landscape is fraught with downside risks. Persistent high inflation rates could potentially escalate due to unforeseen shocks, such as escalating tensions in Ukraine. Even without these shocks, and despite a decline in global headline inflation, inflation pressures remain acute and troubling, which might necessitate tighter monetary policy. The financial sector might experience turbulence as markets adapt to policy tightening by central banks.
Europe’s economy improved in the second quarter, but several countries continue to face headwinds. China’s economic recovery has decelerated.
Nevertheless, despite the downside risks, there are still potential for positive surprises.
On October 5, IPC will hold a free webinar, "Economic Update and Market Outlook," where IPC Chief Economist Shawn DuBravac will provide an update on the latest economic developments and help you navigate an uncertain economic landscape.
The webinar will feature the following:
- Global Economic Snapshot: Gain an in-depth analysis of the current global economic scenario and the critical factors to monitor in the latter half of the year.
- Central Bank Perspectives: Understand the potential trajectory of interest and inflation rates and get insights into the central bankers' strategies for the upcoming year.
- Labor Market Outlook: Learn what to anticipate from the labor market, including an analysis of wage pressures and trends.
