Economists Paul Smith and Andrew Harker use data from our Purchasing Managers Index surveys to provide insights and analysis on the performance of the global economy at the midpoint of 2024 and the outlook for the coming months. They discuss the impact of factors such as investment in new technologies and inflation trends on economic growth. The economists also delve into reshoring and how supply chain realignments have been influenced by factors like the pandemic, geopolitics, and domestic policies.
