BRISBANE: Annual Forecasting, Macro Outlook, Volunteer of the Year Award + Social & Networking

Join us for an insightful evening as the Queensland Chapter celebrates its Annual Forecasting Evening.

The global economy continues to face significant challenges. Advanced economies are shifting toward slower growth, inflation remains disappointingly high, and central banks are finding it difficult to exit from their restrictive policy settings. Geopolitical tensions also persist, with the upcoming US election likely to contribute to the uncertain global outlook. Guest speaker, Principal Economist Trent Saunders from Queensland Treasury Corporation, will discuss how these challenges may play out and what this could mean for the outlook for interest rates.

We will also announce last year’s forecasting winners and give you the chance to enter this year’s predictions. If you made a prediction last year, don’t miss this event to find out if you’re the winner!

Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to enhance your understanding of economic forecasting and connect with members and candidates over drinks and canapés after the event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
