2018 Global Economic & Country Risk Strategy Summit

In the digital age news and information come at us likewater through a firehose. Short sound bites flood the airways and biased analysis populates journals. In my frenetic day I quickly review news from major outlets (NPR and BBC my favorites) and get my detailed analysis on major developments from Connect®. In that review I need to digest, as I'm sure you do, everything from the latest tariff proposals from the United States, the meaning of the latest interest rate discussions on growth, and implications for investment in emerging markets. How are they all related? How do they impact me? Will new US tariffs impact my APAC investments strategy? I often just want to pause and really contemplate what's happening and what the short to mid-term impacts will have on my business.

The 2018 Global Economic & Country Risk Strategy Summit, taking place April 12^th in London, UK is aimed at helping participants do just that - dive deep into critical topics and understand the implications for their business. Our models will continue to provide the quantitative rigor you need and our experts will help relate it to your business with the objectivity we all need. We're changing our format up this year - fewer slides, more experts and more discussion with experts. A format we believe will keep our attendees more engaged and help them derive more insights relevant to their business.

We are also exceptionally pleased to be introducing our new Chief European Economist Kenneth Wattret who joins us as the former Chief Economist of BNP Paribas.

In addition to Kenneth, key speakers this year include: Joel Prakken, Chief US Economist Macroeconomic Advisers by IHS Markit; Nariman Behravesh, Chief Economist; Giles Keating, Founding Partner Werthstein AG; David Rea, Chief Economist Jaguar Land Rover; Natznet Tesfay, Director of Africa Research; Carlos Caicedo, Latin American analysis; and Firas Modad, Director Middle East & North Africa Country Risk.

• What Might Precipitate the Next Recession?

• Should we be Worried about Overheating in the Global Economy?
  
• European Goldilocks Scenario: Too Good to be True?
