Finance Forum – March 31
The Finance Forum is a quarterly breakfast event, for business owners and senior executives who are interested in the latest economic trends, in terms of what it means for the London labour market, specifically within Finance.
In terms of the political and economic background:
The Spring Budget has passed, and at a time of record unemployment and anaemic growth, the Labour Party is under pressure to deliver. The Chancellor is now to set out a new policy plan at her upcoming Mais speech, to stimulate growth, the question is, do her proposals hold scrutiny?
Nonetheless, the industrial strategy is starting to bear fruit in the Banking industry. The move to deregulate, combined with falling interest rates is leading to profits increasing in the sector, and M&A activity is picking up once again.
Equally the UK is now likely to face additional economic headwinds caused by the war in the middle east. Oil prices are rising and uncertainty is increasing once again. For the UK, heavily dependent on DFI, the timing could not be worse.
In this presentation we will therefore analyse:
Macro Economic Data – Looking forward, what does the latest economic data mean for the job market across Finance
Surges by Sector – Spotlighting which sectors are surging in Q1 (Across Accountancy, Banking, Consulting, Insurance, Law & Fintech)
Skills In Demand – Which job functions are seeing the most significant change
Fastest Growing Companies – Companies leading growth in their sectors
Forecasting Future Hotspots – Predictions for industries and roles to watch in the coming months
