Finance Forum – May 21
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.
With UK 10-year bonds climbing above 5% and geopolitical tensions questioning the “special relationship,” the UK’s immediate economic outlook is proving challenging. Join us as we explore therefore the Impact of Oil, so how Middle East instability is driving costs. The Global Shift: Life after the paused US trade deal and the pivot back to Europe. Also worth considering are market concerns of a ‘lurch to the left’ in the event Starmer is replaced as Prime Minister.
In terms of key indicators therefore, we will be analysing:
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
Marie Pegram of TC Group will also be sharing the findings of their quarterly benchmarking study, to give a tier of qualitative insight, in terms of what do the Executives in the Industry think, which will prove to be invaluable for attendees.
