Webcast to help firms navigate uncertain global trade climate
A new webcast has been launched by accounting firm EY to help businesses navigate through an uncertain global trade and economic environment.
It comes in the midst of businesses requiring robust support to navigate an uncertain global trade and economic environment for the foreseeable future.
The webcast is part of the EY ITEM club, a leading UK economic forecasting group which produces quarterly economic UK forecasts and special reports.
Nearly all organisations will feel the effects of tariffs, even indirectly, through rising costs, supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer spending, and shifting competitor dynamics.
The webcast will take place on Tuesday, 29 April from 1pm to 2pm. A panel of experts will look at the growing volatility and what this means for the UK economy and the implications for business.
It will focus on key issues including;
- How tariff changes will impact the UK’s growth and inflation prospects.
- Whether the Government will have to adjust economic policies as the shape of the global economy changes.
- If the economic momentum from the start of the year is likely to continue.
Speakers at the event include;
- Peter Arnold, EY UK chief economist
- Oliver Jones, EY global geostrategy leader
- Matt Swannell, chief economic advisor to the EY ITEM Club, Oxford Economics
Claire Gambles (pictured), EY partner in strategy and transactions, said: “The global economy is undergoing rapid changes.
“The announcement of the US administration's tariff package has sparked financial uncertainty and poses a potential risk of a broader global slowdown.
“For businesses to succeed in this challenging environment, proactive engagement is essential. Do join my colleagues for our latest EY ITEM Club webcast.”
