Courier Business Breakfast: Top economists to share views at free virtual event

Coronavirus has put an unimaginable strain not just on the national economy but on industries across the world.

As we start to emerge from lockdown and begin to restart society it is only natural we look at what the future has in store.

In 2019 it was believed Brexit was the biggest threat facing businesses in the immediate future. And in September economists Graeme Roy, professor at Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI) and Deliotte’s Debapratim De spoke at length about the economic forecast and challenges ahead.

But with the UK still set to leave the EU at the end of the year, while also recovering from the turmoil of a worldwide pandemic, what is the economic forecast now and what can businesses be doing to adequately prepare?

Nine months on, both economists will share with The Courier viewers their predictions for what lies ahead for life after Covid-19 in a virtual business breakfast on June 24.

Mr Roy is head of economics and director of the Fraser of Allander Institute at Strathclyde University.

Mr De is a senior manager at Deliotte and advises clients on macroeconomic developments in the UK and other advanced economies.

The event is free and will take place at 8am on June 24. People can book by emailing laadam@dctmedia.co.uk
