🔍 Global Economic Outlook: Key Insights from the BIS Report 🔍 The Bank for International Settlements – BIS (#BIS), often referred to as the central bank for central banks, has recently published a comprehensive report on the global economy. (Thanks to Coinbureau Asia) Here are the most critical takeaways every professional should know: 👉 The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), known as the central bank for central banks, has released a report predicting potential negative changes in the global economy. 👉 The report notes that monetary policy has succeeded in controlling inflation, suggesting that central banks may soon lower interest rates despite inflation still being above target levels. 👉 The BIS report cautions about significant global debt levels, which limit fiscal and monetary policy options and pose risks to economic stability. 👉 The BIS warns that divergent monetary policies across different central banks could lead to global market volatility, especially if interest rates rise in Japan, affecting the Yen carry trade. 👉 Inflation risks remain due to rising costs of goods, labour shortages, and potential geopolitical tensions, which could also increase commodity prices. 👉 The BIS points out the possible repercussions of excessive government spending, which could interfere with central banks' efforts to control inflation and lead to fiscal policy challenges. 👉 The report suggests that while central banks have kept interest rates high to fight inflation, productivity must increase to sustain economic growth and manage debt levels. 👉 Artificial intelligence (AI) is highlighted as a transformative force in the economy, potentially affecting productivity, consumption, investment, and labour markets, though it also raises concerns about biases and data control by a few large companies. 👉 The BIS suggests that central banks use AI to enhance operations and advises governments to control excessive spending and focus on structural reforms for better income distribution. 👉 The BIS outlines two potential scenarios for the future: a resurgence of inflation or a hard economic landing (recession), with a possible new cycle of growth and prosperity emerging in the next decade. 🌍 The world stands at a crucial economic juncture. Let's engage in meaningful discussions on how we can collectively drive growth, enhance productivity, and foster global stability. What are your thoughts on the BIS report findings?

The ideal scenario for credit appears to be materializing, characterized by declining inflation and the likely avoidance of a recession. However, have market participants grown complacent, with risk appetite reaching high levels?

The International Monetary Fund will publish tomorrow its bi-annual World Economic Outlook. The World Economic Outlook provides GDP growth estimates, and NelsonHall uses them, partly to create its #ITservices forecasts. Or that was in the past. The world has changed. Last year, the U.S. had high GDP growth but IT services spending was flat. Europe had flat GDP growth but decent IT services spending. 2023 was an inflection year where traditional rationale did not work. We have flagged this phenomenon several times to our program subscribers. So far, our assumption for IT services in 2024 was accelerated spending in the U.S. (despite being an Election year) and flat growth in Europe. But the European Central Bank is sending signals that it will likely lower its interest rate in June. And the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (FED) might delay its rate declines. In other words, GDP growth in Europe might rebound a bit faster than expected. How will it all work out? We are counting on the IMF's World Economic Outlook to get some guidance on how Europe's likely interest rate decreases will impact GDP growth, and assess their effects on IT services spending. A scenario we might see is the return of discretionary spending growth in Europe in Q4 2024 while spending in the U.S. would still be driven by Managed Services/IT outsourcing contracts.

The figures in this post from the WEF are interesting. However, as the post suggests GDP is a blunt measure of development. Focus on GDP alone gives a false representation of economic and developmental issues and outcomes. As I have proposed for more than 20 years, even when a young post graduate student of international economics and finance, other measures (such as the HDI - Human Development Index - and now multi-factorial social, environmental, and technological sustainability measures) have been becoming, and are gaining greater recognition as, measures of equitable, nuanced economic development and performance. To act as agents of performance Corporate Boards must understand the context and industry ecosystems (including political-economic ecosystem) within which their firms operate.

Despite worldwide challenges and political issues, Brazil has shown it can handle economic difficulties using diverse strategies and potential. Our economy, measured by GDP and driven by agriculture, mining, and services, outpaced Canada but lags behind countries like the UK, France, and Italy. Even though these nations have smaller populations, they possess more advanced technology. In today's connected world, working together is crucial for everyone to prosper. Let's chat! What are your thoughts on Brazil's economic situation and the global economy in 2023? How do you think Brazil could boost its economy in 2024? 💬🌐 #BrazilEconomy #GlobalProsperity #EconomicInnovation #EconomicComparison #GDPInsights 💼🌎
