Uncertain times demand clear insight
In the lead-up to 2026, the economic landscape is a quicksand minefield. In this exclusive webinar, we bring together two leading economists, from RSM US and RSM Australia, to unpack the forces shaping the year ahead. From rising unemployment at home to global tensions abroad, gain insight into how it will impact you, your business and your investments.
Meet our speakers:
Joe Brusuelas, the acclaimed chief economist at RSM US and widely recognised as the 'chief economist to the middle market', will deliver timely perspectives on recent upheavals in US economic policy.
Devika Shivadekar, RSM Australia’s in-house economist, offers a timely analysis of how the latest economic developments are likely to reshape Australia’s economic outlook.
On the agenda:
- RBA cash rate decisions: How rising unemployment and “sticky” inflation are complicating policy decisions.
- Australia’s economic pressure points: The sectors feeling the strain and where resilience may emerge.
- Global headwinds: The impact of US–China tensions, the global oil glut and energy prices, and the ongoing US government shutdown.
- Productivity puzzle: Why key Australian sectors continue to underperform and what must change.
- The 2026 outlook: Growth, inflation, employment and what the data tells us about the next 12 months.
Hosted by RSM Australia's Chief Executive Partner, Robert Miano, this session will also include a Q&A where you can pose your most pressing questions directly to our economists. Or you can send it ahead by clicking here.
Walk away with practical insights you can use to plan, invest and make better decisions in 2026.
