Economic Prospects for the UK and the EU
Joint lunchtime seminar with Industry Forum
28th January 2016
In 2016, the UK economy faces multiple uncertainties. The largest of these is our future relationship with the EU that will be determined by referendum. Other major external factors include the slowing Chinese economy, the doubts about the strength of the US economy, developments in the Eurozone, and the associated macroeconomic policies of the main players.
Andrew Smith analyses the overall economic landscape and the prospects for the UK and the rest of the EU. Andrew has long experience of briefing senior executives on complex economic matters and has a great ability to interpret what has happened, and outline what could happen, with precision and accessibility.
