There's plenty of reasons why investors might fear a recession: prices are rising, central banks are raising interest rates, the economy is slowing and the war in Ukraine and Covid continue to cause supply constraints.
So in this show, Chief Economist Keith Wade tells us what he thinks the probability of a recession will be. We also talk about the downturn in financial markets, what they're pricing in and whether investors are prepared for a recession.
RUNNING ORDER:
03:29 - Part 1: The squeeze on living standards and the misery index
11:11 - Part 2 Are central bankers behind the curve and how markets are responding
20:27 - Part 3: Are we heading for recession and are investors prepared?
