Here are their top 5 takeaways for 2021

1. 2021 starts like a sunrise… there are a few rays of hope but it starts in the dark. The rays of sunshine will come in the form of high growth rates as our economies return to activity once the vaccine has been rolled out.
2. In the US, Democratic control of the House and Senate gives President-elect Biden a greater opportunity to enact his economic agenda including more aggressive fiscal stimulus.
3. The Brexit deal is done, but being outside the single market will provide slow and steady headwinds for the UK economy.
4. Monetary policy is likely to remain expansionary and central banks are unlikely to step on the gas much more than they already have.
5. Over the next several weeks, people need to hunker down and place close attention – what the Biden administration will do is not yet clear.
