Economy and Capital Markets 2027: The Global Economy in the Lab

Our Economic and Capital Markets Outlook for 2027 is entitled “The Global Economy in the Lab”. In both the chemistry laboratory and the realm of the economy and capital markets, risks and opportunities go hand in hand. In the baseline scenario, “Eager Experimentation”, the experiment is going surprisingly smoothly. Although there are numerous hazardous substances, they do not prevent the global economy from continuing to expand. In the negative scenario, “Laboratory Accident”, by contrast, the world economy resembles a high-risk experimental setup in which even minor errors can trigger a major blow-up. After years of failed attempts, a positive scenario almost sounds like alchemy. But in “The Golden Formula” scenario, this feat is achieved.
