Supporting our members as they refine and supplement existing risk management practices in response to changing macroeconomic conditions.

Macroeconomic trends play a key role in shaping the future. How the overall economy behaves – markets, businesses, consumers and governments – can have significant impact on financial portfolios and company valuations. Understanding fiscal and monetary policies, trade and investment flows, political developments on a national and international scale, is key to evaluating potential macroeconomic risk. Intermediate variables of particular interest include equities and commodities markets, business cycles, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, prices, rates of economic growth and exports/imports.
