2024 Outlook

2024 Economic Outlook and Forecast from the world’s largest banks, asset managers and private equity.

Amid higher rates, inflation, and volatility, there are a few big, structural changes that are reshaping our world.

Our analysis of forecasts from over 200 large investment related organizations shows that despite the continuing uncertainty facing investors amid higher rates, inflation, and volatility, there are a few big, structural changes that are reshaping our world: the mega forces. We believe these mega forces – digital disruption and AI, the low-carbon transition, demographic divergence, the future of finance and geopolitical fragmentation – offer major growth opportunities. And we see our clients as being uniquely positioned to benefit from the shifts that are already under way. Whether it’s infrastructure’s importance to the transition
or societies adapting to demographic change, developing research based strategies will be essential for success.
