GUEST SPEAKER: CHRIS GILES

Chris Giles

Chris Giles has been at the forefront of analysis on the global economy, the Brexit debate and the Eurozone debt crisis. Over the last year, he has written extensively about the economic challenges and consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic, both domestically and internationally. 

As the Financial Times’ Economics Editor since 2004, and previously as their leader writer on UK economics, he has been uniquely privileged in his access to the major facts in economics and his influence on their worldwide perception. Chris offers a clear view of today’s economy at any scale — be it the whole world, the UK or Europe. 

Chris brings extensive experience of on-the-ground economic knowledge and insights in his talks. He speaks with assurance and depth on matters relating to global trends, the UK economy, its relationship inside Europe, drawing out the links and common themes.  

He brings a deep understanding of the crucial factors of the economy - interest rates, inequality, innovation, productivity and public finances - and the their roles in shaping the landscape in which business operates.

His accessible style steers clear of dry economic presentations, bringing the subject of economics alive to a general audience with anecdotes and the most up to date information. Before the FT, he worked for the communications regulator Ofcom, reported for the BBC, and served for seven years as an economist with the Institute for Fiscal Studies. 

 

During his career, he has been awarded; 

Royal Statistical Society’s prize for excellence in journalism in 2008 and 2012

Business Journalist of the Year in 2012

Senior Wincott Award for financial journalism in 2015, the most prestigious UK prize in economics journalism
