Our latest webinar saw Nick Forrest, UK Economics Leader for PwC, and Shalena Poffenberger, Beyond Brexit Leader and Growth Priority Programme Driver for PwC, share their thoughts on the current economic climate.
Nick covered the current UK economic climate and the factors that influence it – US politics, Covid-19, Brexit, and ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance). He looked at inflation, interest rates, wages, and apprenticeships and how they all play a part in the economic recovery.
Shalena delved into the impact of Brexit and the operational changes that are needed for the movement of people, goods, and data. She also explained the complexity of the Northern Irish backstop.
