Overview
We’re delighted to welcome you back to our office for Bloomberg’s latest Macro Economic Outlook Seminar.
Join us for the third edition of “War, Oil and Capital: The World Today”, as we revisit the major themes that have defined the year and assess how the outlook has evolved.
Through the interconnected lenses of geopolitical conflict, energy markets, and capital flows, we will explore how these dynamics are driving growth, influencing inflation, and steering markets.
This session will place today’s developments into a broader global macro context, highlighting the key risks and emerging opportunities facing investors.
Attendees will leave with a timely perspective on where we stand today, what has changed, and what to watch as we approach 2027.
