Economic Outlook: EMEA Inflation, Recession, and Political Instability

How should leaders respond to increasing economic and political instability in the Europe, Africa, and Middle East region? Record high inflation and soaring energy and food prices, together with the war in Ukraine and a rise in nationalism, pose challenges for political and economic leaders—challenges that are unprecedented in recent times.

In this volatile environment, monetary and fiscal authorities often clash in their search for solutions, with real political implications. History also demonstrates the connection between financial instability and extremism, which further imperils economic performance at the firm and national levels.

Join the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and UChicago’s Institute of Politics for a special Economic Outlook event, during which experts will explore the inextricable link between the economic and political environments, and offer insights for business leaders and policymakers facing an extremely difficult 2023.
