Resilience in Uncertainty: What’s Next for the UK Economy?

Wednesday 26 February | 8:30–11:00am | Breakfast

In partnership with HSBC and IWFM

Emma Wilkes -UK Economist HSBC

After a year marked by economic shocks, policy shifts and persistent uncertainty, the question facing leaders now is simple: how hard can you be hit, and keep moving forward?

Join us for an exclusive breakfast briefing exploring whether the next 12 months will bring greater stability for the UK economy, or whether volatility remains the new normal. With pressures still mounting across costs, labour and investment, this session will focus on what decision-makers should be watching closely, and how to stay resilient in a fragile outlook.

Keynote Speaker: Emma Wilkes, UK Economist, HSBC

Emma will share HSBC’s latest view on the UK economy, including:

• The outlook for growth and stability over the next year

• What’s next for interest rates and inflation

• Labour market pressures and productivity challenges

• The impact of government policy decisions

• Key global and domestic risks that could shape the months ahead
  

With uncertainty still high and risks aplenty, this session will cut through the noise to focus on what really matters.
