Twelve months ago, economist Antonio Fatás joined ERA Group for a webinar that quickly struck a nerve. He asked a simple but unsettling question: what is happening to the world economy?
This year’s webinar picked up exactly where that conversation left off, revisiting the same question with a year’s worth of new data, shocks and policy twists.
Today’s environment is often described with heavy words – “unprecedented”, “never seen before”, “uncharted territory”. Antonio’s instinct is to push back on that, describing on one side a world economy that has proved far more resilient than many expected, and on the other a set of slow-burn risks and policy updates building in the background. For business leaders, there is room for optimism, but not for complacency.
Dive deeper in our latest Thought Leadership whitepaper and explore what Antonio's insights mean for business leaders in practice.

"Uncertainty, in this context, is not a reason to freeze. The world ahead may not be entirely new, but its combination of familiar shocks and genuine inflection points demands thoughtful leadership.Those who respond with measured, evidence-based decisions – rather than panic or denial – will be best placed not only to endure the next wave of shocks, but to build stronger, more adaptable businesses beyond 2026."
