DESCRIPTION:As we reach the midpoint of 2026\, uncertainty remains elevated and economic performance continues to diverge across economies. Headline growth indicators suggest resilience\, yet the underlying picture is far more complex and inflationary. As the global economy moves through a period defined less by traditional demand cycles and more by persistent supply-side disruptions\, businesses are navigating a more fragmented\, volatile and structurally complex environment. Geopolitical conflict\, trade realignment\, fiscal pressures\, demographic constraints\, AI-driven transformation and shifting financial market dynamics are reshaping growth\, inflation and investment outcomes across economies. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a forward-looking discussion about the key cyclical and structural geo-economic forces shaping the year ahead — offering strategic guidance for businesses navigating an increasingly uncertain economic landscape. \n\n\n\nKey themes we’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nGeo-economic fragmentation: from conflict to trade tensions\n\n\n\nRisks to growth and renewed inflation pressures\n\n\n\nThe AI-led technology revolution: productivity and labor market transformation\n\n\n\nFinancial markets in flux: interest rates\, yields and capital flows\n\n\n\nDemographic shifts and evolving labor supply dynamics\n\n\n\nFiscal pressures\, debt burdens and policy trade-offs\n\n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize current factors affecting the global economy and outlook.\n\n\n\nIdentify likely future scenarios for inflation\, growth\, interest rates and geopolitical developments.\n\n\n\nDetermine how to build resilience into your business based on macroeconomic factors.\n\n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\nGregory Daco\, EY-Parthenon Chief Economist\, Strategy and Transactions\, Ernst & Young LLP\n\n\n\nMarek Rozkrut\, EY EMEIA Chief Economist and Head of Economists Unit\n\n\n\nCourtney Rickert McCaffrey\, EY-Parthenon Global Geostrategy Insights Leader; Director\, Global Thematic Insights\, Ernst & Young LLP\n\n\n\n\nModerator:\n\n\n\n\nMatt Bartell\, EY-Parthenon Americas Strategy and Transactions Technology and AI Leader\n\n\n\n\nCPE Information (for live events only)\n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced Preparation: None \n\n\n\nRefunds & Cancellations: This course is offered free of charge\, therefore there are no refunds given.
