Spring is a\nseason of hope and renewal, renowned for decluttering and reorganising, making\nnow an opportune time for investors to review and rebalance their portfolios to\nensure investments remain aligned to their long-term financial goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Last year\u2019s\ngains in growth due to rebounding activity now appear to be behind us. The\ncombination of uncertainties led the International Monetary Fund1<\/sup> to\ndowngrade its global growth forecast. Although there are expectations that the\nglobal recovery will continue this year, it is predicting a \u2018disrupted\nrecovery\u2019<\/em> with growth expected to moderate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The outlook for\nmacroeconomic policy is becoming increasingly critical. The path of the global\neconomy will be shaped by the consequences of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and\ncentral bank policies; and their ability to keep inflation expectations\nanchored while allowing a supportive environment for growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
