If you thought 2025 challenged conventional economic wisdom, 2026 could take it a step further.

Can America's remarkable economic resilience continue – and will AI remain a key driver? Will German stimulus finally ignite Europe's recovery? Can China's exports withstand the pressure of US tariffs? And of course, how could it all go wrong for the global economy?

Join ING's economists for a live webinar as they answer those and other key questions for 2026. We'll hear from:

• Carsten Brzeski – Global Head of Macro

• James Knightley – Chief International Economist, US

• Deepali Bhargava – Regional Head of Research, Asia-Pacific

• Lynn Song – Chief Economist, Greater China

• Chris Turner – Global Head of Markets and Regional Head of Research for UK & CEE

• (Host) James Smith – Developed Markets Economist, UK

Discussion themes will include:

• The shifting outlook for US trade, tariffs and fiscal policy

• Europe's fiscal and political crossroads and the impact on growth

• Central bank direction – the outlook for the Fed, ECB and other key players

• The outlook for Asia as the region continues to grapple with tariffs

• 2026 financial market outlook – why the dollar should weaken
