Details
World economic activity is holding up better than expected, helped by an easing of earlier adverse supply shocks. But with inflation proving stubborn and labor markets remaining tight, central banks continue to tighten policy. The impact of monetary tightening on the real economy still lies ahead and could be amplified by more restrictive bank lending conditions as central banks withdraw liquidity.
Topics of discussion will include:
• Global activity holding up as services spending expands
• Manufacturing and trade feeling the squeeze as goods demand softens
• Tight labor markets, savings buffers supporting household income and spending
• Inflation proving sticky and central banks have more work to do
• Monetary tightening impact still lies head
• Banking sector challenges, QT and the supply of credit
