IHS has undertaken ground-breaking research to offer expert insight, analysis, data and forecasts that will help organizations maximize their potential in the wake of a worst case economic scenario.This research will focus on the consequences of the following events unfolding in succession in the near future, including:
- US fiscal cliff driven by the expiration of tax cuts and spending and stimulus declines
- Hard landing in China, manifested as a dramatic slow-down in GDP growth
- Eurozone break-up: dissolution of the euro nations and economies
- Escalation in Middle-East conflict from rising tensions, particularly in Iran and Syria
In this research, IHS analyzes how fiscal austerity in the US, coupled with degradation of the Eurozone could set off a domino effect of consequences, dampening China growth further, leaving governments with policy gaps too great to fill quickly, and impacting business around the globe.
Armed with industry forecasts, business leaders can prepare for the following potential impacts of the above high-risk events. This research will focus on quantifying the following results:
- Decreased demand and pricing power
- Cost fluctuations as uncertainty reigns
- Margin impacts of declining pricing in the face of cost volatility
- Discontinuity of supply for key inputs
- Lack of access to credit
