Details

In some ways, the 2025 economy fared better than predicted. Inflation eased, and the recession many economists had forecast didn’t materialize. Still, the global economy in 2026 faces major headwinds as trade tensions persist, geopolitical conflicts continue, and the US labor market remains cool in nearly all sectors but healthcare. How should you prepare for the challenges ahead?

Join Economics Division Professor Abby Joseph Cohen, retired partner and US chief investment strategist at Goldman Sachs, in conversation with Professor Brett House, former deputy chief economist of Scotiabank, for their latest insights into the global economy.
