The 2016 Global

Economic and

Financial Market

Outlook

The 2016 Outlook is based on the outlook of

the

publisher of Insightperspectives. It is highly recommended to

or on the image on the left to see a more

comprehensive and detailed slides presentation of the forecasts

for economic growth, currencies, stock markets, commodity

markets. Not all forecast charts will be included in this article –

only in the slides presentation.

The world is headed for a volatile 2016 as politics have

become a decisive factor, not least in Europe. This

occurs at the same time as aggressive monetary

stimulus measures since 2008 have made the

macroeconomic cycle go out of sync. In many

developed and developing countries, this has created

even more indebtedness, which causes more

deflationary pressure - read also the article,

One year ago, Insightperspectives warned in the

about an increasing divide between the voters

and the political establishment, not least in Europe.

This divide is no longer only a risk. In a few European

countries, it has already propelled the far right into

power. Indeed, this could be the early stage of a

significant change in Europe’s political landscape.
