The global economy witnessed much turbulence in 2019, with intensified trade wars and Brexit delays influencing the growth story tremendously. Should businesses expect more volatility for 2020, or are global economic prospects looking up? 2020 growth prospects have notably improved in recent weeks following the finalization of Phase 1 of the US-China trade deal and with Brexit set to take place by the end of January without any further delays. Growth prospects for significant economies such as the US and China have marginally improved following the Phase 1 trade deal, but growth will continue to come under pressure from prolonged trade wars. Businesses could look to relocate production from China to Southeast Asia to circumvent tariffs, while countries such as Canada are also enjoying export gains in light of US-China trade wars.

• Identify regional growth prospects, risks, and growth opportunities
• Explore 2020 scenarios for trade wars, Brexit, and other key economic developments
