Webinar Replay–IVSC Valuation Webinar Series 2024

Industry experts provide a comprehensive overview of the current macroeconomic landscape, focusing on key trends that shape the business and investment world and have an impact on valuations. Monetary policy across major markets, including the pace and timing of interest rate cuts by major central banks will have a material impact on risk-free rates, a key input for valuations across multiple asset classes. The effects of COVID-19 fiscal spending are still being felt, with many governments experiencing high budget deficits, placing further upward pressure on interest rates. The global economy is attempting to achieve soft landing, but the fight against inflation is not yet won.
