WEBINAR: The cost of living crisis: Are we heading back to the 70s? 27 Sept; 12:30pm

The return of conflict to Europe has seen commodity prices soar and exacerbated the cost of living crisis for consumers in the UK and further afield. How will Governments and central banks, still dealing with the economic upheaval caused by the global pandemic respond to this new challenge?

Many commentators now believe that, with inflation rocketing and growth slowing, we are returning to 1970s style economic conditions.

What are the main drivers of higher inflation, and how long is UK inflation expected to remain high?

What is the outlook for UK economic growth, and what are the implications for investors?

This session will seek to provide insight to help you answer these common client questions.

We will also examine the impact upon asset classes so far this year and consider what this means for investors.
