In this exclusive roundtable briefing, a team of our experts answered client questions on the outlook for the global economy, including:
- Why major economies are headed for recession and how fast inflation will come off the boil;
- What banking sector turmoil means for the global economic outlook, and how it could affect central bank policy;
