Observatory International Curated Newsletter – September 2022

 

Inflationary Impact

Inflation and Interest rates are dominating the news agenda right now, particularly in the UK where the latest Chancellor has launched the UK Government’s controversial attempt to trigger growth.  Here, McKinsey describes How inflation is flipping the economic script, in seven charts and its strategic implications for various sectors, housing and workforces at a local and global level.

Additionally MarketingWeek has outlined the 6 key take outs for marketers in light of the UK situation and, whether they ultimately turn out to be good or bad economic policies, the immediate impact of UK Chancellor Kwarteng’s new approach on the value of the £GBP demonstrates that businesses need to pay attention.  Similarly, consumer confidence remains in decline and this announcement is unlikely to halt that trend.
