Overview

With the global vaccine rollout accelerating and a debt pile unseen for 100 years, what will the global economies look like in the coming years?

Will pent up demand, particularly in the form of the silver pound, send inflation sky high? Or will the scarring of the economic downturn see more focus given on intergenerational fairness?

Join this debate between two economist heavyweights as they discuss the factors impacting the future in the UK, US and Asia.

The panel:

Ian Stewart, Deloitte
Gemma Tetlow, IFG
