Harder – better – tougher – greener

Four buzzwords for investment year 2022

The latest macro-economic data leave us in no doubt as to where we currently stand in the economic cycle: the growth high point is definitively behind us. That not only applies to Emerging Markets, which are one step ahead of the cycle due to the pandemic, it is equally applicable to leading economic powers including the USA and the Eurozone. Still, we do not think that is reason for concern.

Return to new highs

Behind us lies a barnstorming race to make up lost ground during which we did see the markets catch up. It is worth keeping that fact in the back of our minds when we hear talk of “slowing growth”. It is also borne up by the continuing stable environment and well-filled order books – notwithstanding selective supply bottlenecks and soaring energy prices.
