The Great Reboot presented

The current phase of the global economy is characterised by higher interest rates, more geopolitical tensions, new patterns of trade and connectivity, and an evolving landscape of global growth. While the global economy missed a recession in 2023 and will most likely avoid one in 2024, there are complexities from high interest rates, geopolitics, shifting supply chains and rising investment needs. Connectivity has always been one of the main ingredients for Asia’s success, and openness has been a pillar for the Australian and New Zealand economies. What are the emerging new channels of integration and what might it mean? For consumers, spending patterns are moving on from the see-saw cycles of the pandemic and this is changing the balance between goods and services, luxury and necessities, and digital versus offline routes to market. Visa’s Business and Economic Insights team is using our data to spotlight some implications, some of which will be shared during the session.
