Agenda
09:00 Registration
Welcome coffee and tea
09:30 Introduction
Opening remarks by Carlo Thelen, General Director Chambre de Commerce Luxembourg
09:45 Global Economic Outlook: Global expansion: robust yet fragile
Gabriel Sterne, Head of Global Macro Research, Oxford Economics
- Inflation, unfavourable policies, and tightening liquidity make markets nervous
- Pockets of credit risk and low bank profitability pose dangers to the financial system
- Expansions don’t die of old age, but age can foster fragilities; warning lights are on amber
- Trade wars quite damaging to date; but its the escalation scenarios that would be very damaging
10:30 European Economic Outlook: Domestic resilience keeps ECB on normalisation path
Oliver Rakau, Lead Eurozone Economist and Chief German Economist, Oxford Economics
- Strong labour market bolsters domestic demand outlook
- ECB remains on course to the QE exit
- Slowing global trade and US trade wars threaten exporters
11:15 Coffee break
11:30 Equities, Asset Prices and Investment Strategies: A fork in the road for global investors
Gaurav Saroliya, Director of Global Macro Strategy, Oxford Economics
- After confidently buying the US equity dip this year, we see a fork in the road
- One path leads to more synchronous growth and recovery in non-US markets (better than 50% probability)
- But another leads to a further weakening of global risk appetite (40% probability)
- But these probabilities aren’t static and the scores are shifting fast
12:15 Closing remarks
Serge Allegrezza, General Director STATEC
12:30 Drinks reception and finger food

Les salons de coopération offrent une formule simple permettant aux entreprises d’étendre leurs activités au-delà des marchés domestique et régional. Au lieu d’entreprendre une dizaine de voyages d’affaires pour trouver le bon contact, la participation à un salon de coopération permet à une PME/PMI d’avoir en un seul endroit plusieurs rendez-vous ciblés et individuels avec des entreprises intéressées par un partenariat. De plus, avec le concept « b2fair », les entreprises peuvent tirer parti de la combinaison judicieuse de foires internationales et de plates-formes de rencontres « b2b », par laquelle cette initiative se distingue.
