Navigating economic uncertainty: Watch the Nordea Economic Outlook webinar

Uncertainty remains high in the global economic outlook, amid recent turmoil in the banking sector, persistently high inflation and ongoing effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Headline inflation has been falling, due to lower energy prices compared to a year ago, but underlying core inflation remains well above targets, despite sharp interest rate hikes by many central banks. Labour markets are still tight, with low unemployment, raising concerns that rising wages could perpetuate high inflation. 

When will labour markets regain their balance and the underlying pressures start to ease?

Watch the webinar with Nordea’s Group Chief Economist Helge Pedersen where he shares valuable insights on the current economic landscape and our predictions for what lies ahead.
