Boston Consulting Group (BCG) regularly publishes a Consumer Sentiment Barometer to understand how consumers feel and spend. The latest August 2024 release shows that consumer confidence is starting to bounce back, though the recovery is uneven across Brazil, China, Germany, India, the UK, and the US. A few take-aways: ▪ Sentiment is impacted by income: Low and middle income consumers say they spend less while affluents show more resilient spend patterns. ▪ Rising costs are causing economic hardships: Consumers are spending more but often in response to higher prices, and not due to greater demand. ▪ Consumer spending outlook varies widely by category: Leisure Travel and Insurance are among resilient categories with enduring spend, Luxury is a feel-good category that has come off peak spending patterns, while snacking and dining are taking lower priority in consumer spending.   Companies need to take a de-aggregated market by market view to understanding and anticipating sentiment and consumer spend.

Economic growth is deeply tied to economic empowerment, a threshold well above the poverty line that measures whether households can meet their basic needs. Global leaders have an opportunity to work together to leverage G20’s collective potential to create a world in which sustainability, inclusion, and growth are not just aspirations but tangible realities. Ahead of this year’s B20 Brasil – the global business forum for the G20 – a new report by McKinsey & Company focuses on how countries can move from aspirations toward action in the three pillars of growth, inclusion, and sustainability.

As our Brazilian national and beloved hero Ayrton Senna would say: "The more precisely you plan, the faster and smoother you will handle the unexpected." This quote reflects Senna's philosophy both on and off the racing track, emphasizing that meticulous planning and preparation enable one to efficiently manage and take advantage of unforeseen circumstances and challenges. At BCG, we have recently created the BCG's Center for Geopolitics to support executives to better prepare for the future. Our colleagues have created four scenarios of what the world might look like in 2030, and one of them is gaining momentum: "Multipolar Rivalry", with the emergence of several regional blocs, a rebalanced global dynamic where major powers avoid direct conflict, and the redrawing of trade lanes. The point of scenario planning is more about preparation itself than prediction. By understanding these scenarios, CEOs and their teams can minimize disruptions and seize opportunities, such as swings in commodity prices, creating advantages in a competitive landscape.
