12 June, 2012 | (01 hr)
The global economic outlook remains extremely uncertain, highlighted by the continued fiscal crisis gripping Europe and the concern that the U.S. expansion is losing steam and the Chinese economy may be slowing more than anticipated. The upcoming Presidential and congressional elections in the U.S. and leadership change in China add further to the uncertainty. What key monetary and fiscal policy actions can we expect out of Washington and Beijing in the coming year? And what are the next steps for European policy makers likely to consider in terms of monetary and fiscal policy action in order to deal with the ongoing crisis?
Audience: Any business professionals who need to understand the expected future path for global economic policy.
The U.S. economy remains weak and political consensus in Washington remain elusive, as we face a looming fiscal cliff at the end of this year. We examine what possible policy actions could be taken and the medium-term direction of monetary and fiscal policy following the results of the key presidential and congressional elections.

China is facing its largest leadership change in a decade, which raises some questions as to how the new generation of leaders will manage fiscal and monetary policy. In the near-term, some concerns exist that the Chinese economy is slowing more than intended.
