The mid-year economic and financial markets outlook

August 2024

1 hour

The global economy has proved remarkably resilient over the past year, with growth coming in around the long-run average. We expect this to continue into 2025, as central banks across the developed world begin to lower rates. However, with growth proving robust and inflation still above target in most countries, rate cuts are expected to be modest.

In this session, moderated by Private Banker, Julia Parsons, we hear from Macquarie’s leading investment experts, Paul Huxford, Dan Fabbro as they discuss:

  • The likelihood of reduced growth through to 2025, and the outlook for interest rates over the next 12 months.
  • The impact of recent and upcoming elections on the global economy and trade.
  • How we expect global equity markets to perform throughout the second half of 2024.
