As the economic ripple effects of the pandemic subside in 2024, organizations look toward a year of recalibration as consumers rebalance prices and priorities. Amidst the disorienting global backdrop of interest rates, wages and prices high relative to pre-pandemic trends, strategic data-backed decision making will be key to optimizing spending, investments, and business performance.
Sharing insights from the latest Mastercard Economics Institute report Economic Outlook 2024, this 60-minute session will explore:
- Macroeconomic dynamics alongside consumer spend and travel trends in 2024 to watch out in Asia Pacific and beyond
- The China Story - the recovery of Chinese Outbound Travel and how it may impact retailers' global strategies
- How a combination of geo-political shocks to growth and inflation may create a challenge for central banks and how this will affect consumers and corporates
- Top areas of focus for financial institutes in 2024 given the macro environment and payment, consumer and regulatory trends
