Trade Credit: What happens if inflation is out of control?

As inflation begins to creep up, businesses and consumers across the UK are seeing the pound being stretched. Interest rate increases are all but inevitable, but how bad could it get?

The ‘What If’ series is a brand new event from Marsh in which we bring together a panel of experts across a variety of industries to tackle a hypothetical scenario.
In the inaugural session of the series we look at what it could mean for the UK, and the wider global economy, if inflation not only continues to increase, but gets out of control.

Topics for discussion will include:

• How bad could inflation get?
• How does the Russia-Ukraine conflict impact the rest of the global economy?
• What could the government do to help?
• What should businesses be doing now to help protect themselves?
Join us to hear insights from our expert panel of speakers on these topics and learn how businesses can mitigate risk to trade with confidence.

Panellists:

• Damian O’Sullivan, Finance Director, Centresoft Ltd
• Mark Palmer, COO, Hamilton Court FX
• Mike Buggy, Head of Risk Underwriting, Euler Hermes
• Luca Moneta, Team Leader, Political Risk Analysis, Marsh Specialty

As well as pre-set questions this live event will feature an interactive Q&A, allowing you to submit your questions to our panel of experts. You can also submit your questions for the panel in advance when you register.
