In Episode #70 of the Beyond Distribution with GTDC Podcast, host Frank Vitagliano welcomes back Emily Mansfield, Regional Director for Europe at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), for a timely conversation on what today’s heightened geopolitical volatility means for the global economy—and for firms trying to plan and invest amid constant disruption.
The renowned economist breaks down the dynamics of the recent conflicts and political policy changes, including tariffs, as well as their effects on pricing, inflation expectations and business growth outlooks. She also shares why scenario planning is essential right now, outlining a range of potential timelines and outcomes that business leaders should be actively stress-testing.
The discussion also looks beyond the headlines to the forces shaping the next phase of growth—from Europe’s investment tailwinds (including infrastructure, digital modernization and rising defense outlays) to the lingering trade uncertainties and the macro importance of the AI capex boom. Tune into this episode for more practical takeaways and a preview of the upcoming GTDC Summit EMEA event in the Netherlands.
