Ageing populations and inflation: the implications

Following centuries of growth, the world’s ageing population may start to shrink before the end of the century. Guest speaker and Chief Economist for Talking Heads Manoj Pradhan, RBC Chief Economist Eric Lascelles and RBC European Equity Product Specialist Freddie Fuller explore the profound societal and economic implications that may result from this demographic shift. They question if demographic change will reverse a multi-decade fall in inflation and interest rates and consider what the future holds for investors and asset classes should rising inflation become a structural trend.
