WAR, RECESSION & CLIMATE CHANGE Navigating the risks of these times

As we emerge from the pandemic, businesses are weathering a perfect storm of labour shortage, wage pressure, inflation and a potential looming recession. Add to this heightened geopolitical tensions with China & Russia and the urgent issue of tackling climate change – there are a pretty turbulent few years ahead.

To set the stage, Ross McEwan, CEO of the National Australia Bank and Hawke’s Bay boy, will share his macro view on the global economy, geopolitical uncertainty and why climate change is still a major priority.

Drilling deeper, Rob Fyfe will join Ross and a panel of industry leaders currently tackling these issues and turning them into opportunities.
