Year Ahead 2023 Nat West

The Nat West Year Ahead 2023 report suggests that in 2022, the focus of global markets was on the post-pandemic economy. Businesses and investors dealt with shortages and changes in central bank policies. Governments were trying to figure out how quickly to use fiscal policies and allow consumers to drive economic growth again. The report argues that these shortages and supply chain disruptions will continue, causing central banks to be more cautious, and that these factors will have a greater impact on markets than expected.
