The Global Economic Consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War

Beyond the suffering and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the global economy is feeling the effects of slower growth and higher inflation as a result of the Russian invasion.

Food costs have soared, with wheat, for which Ukraine and Russia make up thirty percent of global exports, reaching a record. Steeper price increases for food and fuel have heightened risks of unrest from Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America to the Caucasus and Central Asia, while food insecurity is aggravated in parts of Africa and the Middle East.

This webinar will consider these global economic trends and their implications.

The panellists are:

• Dr Beata Javorcik, Chief Economist, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
• Dr Jamie Rush, Chief European Economist, Bloomberg Economics

The conversation will be moderated by The Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind KCMG KC, RUSI Distinguished Fellow and former UK Foreign Secretary.
