Kroll and the International Valuations Standards Council (IVSC) are pleased to invite you to the 2024 Valuation Webinar Series.

Join us to hear from leading experts from across the globe on five of the most important themes impacting the valuation industry in 2024. Gain insights from renowned international experts in thought-provoking and interactive panel discussions.

The webinars will take place on Zoom. Registration is required for each individual webinar you wish to attend.

Industry experts will provide a comprehensive overview of the current macroeconomic landscape, focusing on key trends that shape the business and investment world and have an impact on valuations. Monetary policy across major markets, including the pace and timing of interest rate cuts by major central banks will have a material impact on risk-free rates, a key input for valuations across multiple asset classes. The effects of COVID-19 fiscal spending are still being felt, with many governments experiencing high budget deficits, placing further upward pressure on interest rates. The global economy is attempting to achieve soft landing, but the fight against inflation is not yet won.

During this session, experts will discuss these and other themes impacting the global economy, including geo-political risks, energy transition, and technology trends, laying the foundations for the following sessions:
