3、Global Q2 2022 Military and economic conflict mean another big supply shock Just when there were glimmers of hope that the worst of the supply chain disruptions were easing and that we might be moving into the final phases of the global pandemic, the global economy faces another potentially enormous
4、 broad-based supply shock. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, the steady roll-out of sanctions by the West, and some retaliatory measures by Moscow usher in a new era of economic conflict, the implications of which appear set to extend well beyond the short-term repercussions for commodity prices and infl
5、ation. Nor is the battle against COVID-19 consigned to history. Although there are some genuine reasons for optimism that the global pandemic is evolving into something more endemic, the resurgence of cases in parts of North Asia and the regional lockdowns in critically important manufacturing hubs
6、and international ports like Shenzhen and Shanghai in mainland China, pose a risk of renewed temporary supply chain disruptions. More broadly, the risk that dangerous new mutations could still emerge anywhere in the world cannot be dismissed, but for now Beijings response to the growing domestic and
7、 global growth risks is more policy stimulus. To say that the global economic outlook is exceptionally uncertain is undisputable. Global growth will clearly be weaker than it would have been and inflation will be higher, potentially significantly so. Already the swings in commodity prices and financ
8、ial markets have been dramatic and volatility appears set to be a feature of the outlook for the foreseeable future. Economic forecasts could be in a state of persistently playing catch-up as world leaders take decisions that affect the macroeconomic outlook. The challenges facing the major central
9、banks grow ever harder. Is a hard landing inevitable? This new broadly-based global supply shock hits at a time when in some parts of the world the consumer recovery has been proving to be more resilient in early 2022 than many anticipated. Retail sales in the likes of the US and the UK started the
10、year on a very high note but that may have just reflected a temporary unleashing of pent-up demand after the Omicron variant, which struck mostly in December. If so, it might fade imminently. Consumer confidence is certainly falling. However, robust consumer demand might also be a function of the un
11、derlying resilience of many households balance sheets bolstered by accumulated savings even as the cost-of-living squeeze intensifies. Given the abundance of employment opportunities, workers are calling for higher pay gains but so far the squeeze on real wages has not stopped them spending. So how
12、do we see the economic outlook? Flat or even inverted portions of sovereign yield curves suggest financial markets are pricing at least some likelihood of a hard landing. Recession certainly cant be ruled out, nor can outright stagflation. Neither is yet a certainty but the risks of both have risen.
13、 The growth risks are numerous: monetary policy normalisation could still follow various paths, but may have to be much quicker; the future course of the pandemic is still not clear; and there is huge uncertainty over the evolution of the armed conflict in Ukraine and the new era of economic conflic
14、t that has begun. It will impact our forecasts through various channels of influence, which we discuss in this report, but we cannot gauge the magnitude or the duration. Executive Summary COVID-19 is not over yet either Resilient Western consumers? Economics Global Q2 2022 2 The short and the long o
15、f it The scale of direct confidence effects will vary, according to each countrys proximity to the area of military conflict. That in itself can impact on investment but the biggest impact globally is already and will likely continue to be via commodity prices. We are acutely aware that the commodit
16、y price outlook would be different if a settlement is reached that brings an early halt to the conflict in Russia-Ukraine rather than if it continues indefinitely. We have, nonetheless, had to take a view on the assumptions to use for oil, gas, and a range of other commodities to make our forecasts
17、and what it means for each countrys terms of trade. The overall impact amounts to a redistribution of income from commodity consumers to commodity producers. Europe is a clear relative loser via higher energy prices and possible disruption to supplies. For many emerging economies the bigger headwind
18、s will come from the surge in the price of agricultural commodities, particularly wheat, and the pass-through will likely extend beyond 2022. Manufacturing-based economies are not only confronted by higher energy and metals prices but also face possible disruption to gas supplies, as well as an inab
19、ility to trade certain products with the worlds 11th largest economy, while semiconductor producers could potentially face supply chain disruptions given their reliance on rare gases from Russia. In terms of direct export exposures, Russia is not a major export market for many countries and not all

Other near-term questions include the impact of migrants from Ukraine, on both public spending and labour markets, possibly even easing worker shortages in some sectors i
21、n parts of Europe. We have also started to assess the likely longer-term implications of the current conflict. These will also vary depending on the degree of escalation and duration of the military operations but some areas have already been set on a new trajectory for the coming years irrespective
22、 of whether there is a near-term diplomatic resolution to the conflict. These include higher defence spending, which is already certain in Europe. Some further elements of de-globalisation, whether for financial reasons (e.g. FX reserves) or for supply chain resilience, will also be a feature. Energ

The cost shock This all means that even with a degree of shielding by governments that may step in to cap household energy bills, already

The squeeze on real incomes will intensify, hitting consumer spending. Many of the other commodity price rises and disruptions will be felt initially th

Already the surge in energy costs has led to partial closures of some factories in Europe. Companies may be forced to persisten
