The global economic and financial outlook is amongst the weakest in a decade as recession fears continue to weigh on markets. Bringing inflation down remains a top priority for central banks, however, the impact of rate hikes is also evident. 2023 is shaping up to be a year of two halves — the first half reverberating from the impact of tighter monetary policies and high inflation from the previous year, and the second half looking at an inflection point once interest rates have peaked. These prospects may create opportunities to change allocation to equities and high-yield debt, demanding prudent portfolio positioning.
With its long-standing legacy and focus on a seamless delivery of best-in-class banking and wealth management experiences, Mashreq Private Banking is well placed to satisfy the nuanced needs of the affluent amidst this changing landscape.
