Chief Economists' Outlook January 2026: reassuring resilience and a 'good' bubble?

The latest Chief Economists' Outlook is a revealing pulse-check of the global economy based on a survey of leading chief economists from a variety of organizations.

Christian Keller, Head of Economics Research at Barclays Investment Bank, joins to flesh out the key parts of the latest outlook – and helps us understand why tariffs haven't proven to be quite the disaster economists feared (yet), and why people are saying that even if this is an AI bubble, it might in some ways be a good one.
