Capital Economics at 25

How the global economy has changed since our founding, and what to expect in the coming 25 years 

In this exclusive report, our senior economists identify the five key themes which have dominated the global economy over the past 25 years – and show how they will continue to shape the next 25.

  • The evolution of macro forces such as inflation and productivity;
  • How geopolitics is back as a driver of global economic outcomes;
  • How the last 25 years have been bookended by equity market bubbles.
