The New Economic Crossroads

The world economy stands at the edge of what analysts call Stagflation 2.0, a blend of
slowing growth, sticky inflation, and policy paralysis.

According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook (April 2024), global growth remains
“weak by historical standards,” while inflation “may take longer to return to target.”
Similarly, the World Bank warns that the structural forces that once kept prices low, like
globalisation, cheap energy, abundant labour, are fading.

Unlike the 1970s, this episode is synchronised across continents and intertwined with
geopolitical fragmentation, energy transition costs, and demographic drag. Central
banks face a double bind: tightening risks recession, easing risks inflation.

Survival Strategies

For Policymakers
● Credible inflation management to anchor expectations.
● Long-term structural reforms: productivity, digitalisation, and energy
independence. (Financial Times)

For Businesses
● Reinforce pricing power through differentiation and brand trust.
● Stabilise input costs with long-term supplier contracts and energy hedging.
● Diversify supply chains to reduce regional shocks.
● Preserve liquidity.

For Investors
● Rebalance portfolios toward real assets (commodities, infrastructure, real estate)
that hold value under inflation.
● Focus on quality, firms with low debt and sustainable cash flow will outperform
in an era of expensive capital.
