Rabobank cordially invites you to join its “Outlook 2020” presentation on Monday, 2 September 2019.

As we look towards 2020, will the global economy sail on serenely?

From the plush seats in First Class, all looks well, or stock markets say. Deckchairs are happily being rearranged.

Yet below decks mutiny is brewing from struggling workers; there are cracks in the bulkheads of the US, Asia, and European economies, flooding from one into the next; and our central-bank Engine Room has made terrible errors and is belching black smoke. Can we reverse course before we hit any of several icebergs, from Hard Brexit to Trade War to Iran? And need we add that the Bridge is staffed with a motley crew who might not want to avoid the icebergs? In short, there is a distinctly Titanic feeling about our current global economy: it’s huge; it’s impressive; and yet it can sink.

Near, far, wherever you are, if you want to listen to what RaboResearch thinks 2020 holds, please attend Rabobank’s Financial Markets Outlook 2020.
