Macroeconomic Outlook and Challenges-breakfast event took place at Hotel Haven on 1st November

Our panelists Tuomas Hillukkala, Holger Schmieding, Minna Kuusisto and Juha Niemelä.

CFA Society Finland kicked off November with a topical Macroeconomic Outlook and Challenges -breakfast event at Hotel Haven in Helsinki. We had a good number of members present, and no wonder as we had the pleasure of welcoming a great panel of speakers to out event.

We were happy to be listening to Dr Holger Schmieding, Chief Economist at Berenberg, as the keynote speaker of our event. Holger covered many aspects in the current and predicted near future of the global economy, regarding inflation, interest rates, labor market, gas prices, and both companies and consumers’ situation in the current economic landscape, especially in the US, China and Europe. Minna Kuusisto Director and Chief Analyst, Danske Bank, and Juha Niemelä, Head of Market Operations Department at the Bank of Finland, joined the panel afterwards with Holger, where the discussion continued with the many uncertainties in the economy, opinions varying from negative to mildly positive change of events in the coming months, central bank policies, as well as the many effects of the present geopolitical tensions. As moderator for the conversation acted CFA Society Finland board vice president Tuomas Hillukkala, CFA.

Thank you everyone for attending, see you at the next event!
