The inflation crisis: lessons from the 1970s
ABOUT THE EVENT
The global economy is in the midst of a growth slowdown coupled with multi-decade high inflation as economies feel the impact of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. This combination of weak growth and high inflation is reminiscent of the world economy in the 1970s and raises concerns that we may be heading for a repeat. This session will explore the inflation crisis and what the 'Great Inflation' of the 1970s can teach us about the economy and the market today. How close are the parallels between today's economic climate and the 1970s? What are the critical difference and what can we learn from the mistakes? The panel will also discuss how business leaders should prepare to mitigate the worst effects of an economic downturn. Please note that spaces at this event are limited and as such we ask that members let us know in advance if they are unable to attend so that we can offer their space to someone else. If you have any questions ahead of the event, please get in touch with the Forums team boarddirector@ft.com.
