About HSBC Global Research

Global Research, a division of HSBC Global Banking and Markets, has over 500 staff in 20 countries both developed and emerging. We specialise in four core product areas – currency, economics, equities and fixed income – with a particular emphasis on emerging markets and climate change.

Economics

Stephen King, Global Head of Economics

Our Economics team provides a consistent and (we believe) interesting view of the world economy. Constant discussion and exchange of ideas mean we can offer a series of publications that share common underlying themes, among them, the importance of emerging markets, the role of US monetary policy, the relationship between economics and politics and, above all, the impact of globalisation. Our forecasts and themes feed directly into our asset allocation and strategy research. Our economists spend a great deal of time working directly with major clients - and with some of the world's most important policymakers - providing advice on global and regional economic trends. We are consistently highly ranked in investor surveys.

Weekly economic review

Stephen KingDeflation... the next big surprise?
By Stephen King

What is likely to be the big economic surprise over the months ahead? This might seem like a fatuous question given that surprises are, well, surprises. They're the events we typically don't expect. Nevertheless, it's not such a daft approach, if only because the economics profession has been consistently tripped up over the last couple of years by a collective failure of imagination.
