Highlights from the ISA Global Economic and Risk Outlook

Economic Highlights

  • The global economy has been driven by strong growth in the United States in recent years, but economic growth in the US has slowed of late.
  • Inflationary pressures will continue to slowly recede in most major economies, but deflation will remain a serious long-term threat to the Chinese economy.
  • More competitive economies with a strong presence in high-tech and high-growth industries will withstand the current challenges better than their less-competitive counterparts.
  • Labor shortages will persist in some sectors of the economy, but unemployment will rise in other areas as the global workforce continues to undergo a dramatic transformation.
  • Declining working-age populations, an uncertain outlook for trade and investment, and falling productivity growth rates will make it more difficult to generate long-term economic growth.

Geopolitical Highlights

  • The growing rivalry between the United States and China will come to dominate many aspects of the global geopolitical environment.
  • China's growing assertiveness in Asia and further abroad will result in more countries working together to counter China's rising power.
  • The conflict in Ukraine will continue as neither Russia nor Ukraine has the capability of recording a total victory, leading to a prolonged stalemate or a negotiated settlement.
  • The level of political tensions within the United States are likely to remain high, raising the potential for a much higher degree of political instability in the US.
  • Political polarization and the fragmentation of politics will make it increasingly difficult for stable governments to be formed and to remain in power in many parts of the world.
