Governor Talk with Janet Henry: The Outlook for the Global Economy in a Highly Uncertain World
- This event has passed.
Global growth has been steady even as growth in Europe and China continues to disappoint because India and the US are still surprising to the upside. Yet fears of a US hard landing have resurfaced and a US Federal Reserve, which now more comfortable with inflation, has joined most of the world’s central banks in starting to loosen the monetary reins. Janet will set out her economic outlook for 2024-2026 and consider some scenarios for growth, inflation, world trade and policy rates that could evolve as a consequence of the November US election.
