Investec Economists

 

Our economists identify the key drivers of the economic backdrop against which Investec as a business as well as our clients are operating. They synthesise information to assess and interpret changes in these drivers and risks to produce a macro and market outlook. This is then used for internal business planning, regulatory purposes and provided to our external stakeholders.
