About this episode

Chris Holdsworth discusses the factors influencing global GDP growth, including supply shocks and AI spending.

Global GDP growth looks set to be around 3% this year, as the global economy deals with headwinds from a supply shock because of the war with Iran and tailwinds from artificial intelligence spending, says Chris Holdsworth, Chief Investment Strategist, at Investec Wealth & Investment International.
