Zanny Minton-Beddoes's Speech Topic(s)

• A Long Shadow: The World Economy After the Financial Crisis
  As the global economy emerges from the deepest recession since the 1930s, attention is turning to its aftermath. What will be the likely shape, scope, and strength of the recovery? How long will the hangover from the biggest financial bust in 80 years last? And what kind of global economy will emerge as a result? With America’s debt-fueled consumers no longer able to power global spending, the world economy needs new engines of demand. Will emerging economies fill that role and what will be the consequences for America, the dollar and the world economy?
• Stress-Testing America's Prosperity
  For years America's economy has done better than the rest of the developed world. Will America remain the global dynamo or is today's recovery built on an unsustainable pile of debt? Keynote speaker Zanny Minton-Beddoes examines the economic outlook from the American and global perspective. She offers up-to-the minute insight on policy-makers' priorities and the likely direction on issues from job creation to the deficit's effect on global interest rates to potential financial regulation.
