Here we go again? Assessing the inflation risks of the recent energy shock

Join us for an insightful discussion on the global economic consequences of the conflict in Iran and the growing inflationary pressures emerging in the UK.

As energy prices continue to rise, this discussion will examine how these shocks can influence price and wage-setting across the economy, how the current situation compares to previous energy crises, and the potential implications for inflation and monetary policy moving forward.

Key speaker

Hear directly from Megan Greene as she outlines the price- and wage- setting channels through which energy shocks can feed into broader inflation dynamics, compares the current episode with previous shocks and considers the resulting implications for both overall inflation and monetary policy.

Prior to her appointment, Ms Greene was the Global Chief Economist at Kroll, a business services and risk mitigation firm. She was also a Contributing Editor and regular columnist at the Financial Times, writing on global macroeconomics and policy. In addition, she served on the International Advisory Committee of the board of the Hong Kong stock exchange. Ms Greene previously served as a Senior Fellow at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School and Global Chief Economist at John Hancock Asset Management.

She holds a BA from Princeton University and a MSc from Nuffield College, Oxford University.
