EY Malta will host a breakfast seminar on May 29 with Prof. Pedro Videla from the IESE Business School, entitled ‘Landing the Plane: Global Economic Outlook’.
Following strong growth in 2017 and 2018, various factors are leading major global economies to slow down and or be hit by uncertainties. Experts are flagging the deceleration of the US, eurozone and Chinese economies.
Prof. Videla will answer some major economic questions such as the growth outlook for major economies, the main challenges, the policy tools being used to counteract the deceleration, and whether we heading for a hard landing.
He specialises in macroeconomics, international economies and emerging economies. He was a consultant in projects with the World Bank, IMF, EU, the Inter-American Development Bank, and USAID.
The IESE Business School was the first to offer full-time MBA and AMP programmes in Europe. It was ranked by The Financial Times as the best business school in the world for the fourth consecutive year.
The breakfast seminar begins at 7.30am at the EY Connect Centre, EY Offices, Msida. A networking reception will be held from 9.30am onwards. Booking is strongly recommended by sending an e-mail to events@mt.ey.com.
