We are pleased to invite you to join IHS Expert Talk: Global Macro Briefing and Risk Scenarios Assessment

There is no fees imposed for this program. 

Agenda :
The global economy started 2018 with strong, synchronized growth, but the momentum faded as the year progressed, and growth trends diverged. Notably, the economies of the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China began to weaken. In contrast, the US economy accelerated thanks to fiscal stimulus. These divergent trends will persist in 2019. 

Join IHS Markit Chief International Economist, Elisabeth Waelbroeck-Rocha for the briefing on global economy and risk scenarios in 2019. She will also examine the increasing risks to the global economy from further shocks and the rising probability of a recession in the next couple of years.

Topic Overview

  • Global economic outlook and risks
  • Impact of different oil price
  • Protectionism led by US-China Trade War
  • What the markets indicate about emerging market vulnerability - Turkey, Venezuela, South Africa, Brazil
