Pan Finance Announces the Q1 Award Winners of 2023
The increase in central bank rates to combat inflation and Russia’s ongoing conflict in Ukraine continue to negatively impact economic activity around the world. Global inflation is expected to decline from 8.8% in 2022 to 6.6% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, but it is still expected to be higher than pre-pandemic levels of approximately 3.5% between 2017 and 2019. In the majority of economies, the priority is still achieving sustained disinflation amidst the cost-of-living crisis.
Governments are faced with tough trade-offs as they balance concerns for society, the environment, and security in the coming years. Short-term geo-economic risks are already testing net-zero commitments and exposing a gap between what is necessary from a scientific standpoint and what is politically feasible. In this first edition of 2023, Pan Finance Magazine’s cover story highlights the differing strategies that are being employed by various governments to tackle this cost-of-living conundrum. Amongst 136 pages of truly insightful articles, we also look at whether Paris has stolen a march on London to become Europe’s biggest stock exchange; we explore how banking reforms could make the UK a sustainable finance hub; and we probe Brazil’s current economic challenges.
Furthermore, Pan Finance continues to shine a spotlight on leading examples of best practice across the world of finance. Established to be a true measure of excellence, the Pan Finance awards look beyond the realm of the balance sheet alone, measuring success through innovation, stewardship of the environment and positive impact on society.
