Higher retail inflation will impact consumer confidence and spending. As governments combat inflation by raising interest rates, new job creation will slow down and impact economic activity and growth.
With slower growth and high inflation, developed markets seem primed to enter into a recession. Fears of new Covid outbreaks and China’s already uncertain post-pandemic path pose a risk of the world experiencing more acute supply chain pain and manufacturing disruptions this year.
Volatile financial markets, growing trade tensions, stricter regulatory environments, and pressure to mainstream climate change into economic decisions will compound the complexity of the challenges faced. 2023 is expected to be a tough year for most investors and consumers.
