Every year at Oxford Analytica, we publish our Prospects series within the Oxford Analytica Daily Brief. This year, we dedicated 32 pieces of analysis to the series, covering every core region around the world.

Our complimentary summary guide takes a one-year view, providing an invaluable strategic guide for decision-makers to the risks and potential opportunities that lie ahead.

The ten questions covered in our guide are: 

1. How will uneven vaccination against COVID-19 manifest itself globally and how long might restrictions persist in some regions?
2. How will inflation and debt affect living standards and economies in the developed world – and might the cures be worse than the disease?
3. Can China’s authorities prevent property sector troubles from derailing the economy? And what will be the effects of its ‘common prosperity’ agenda?
4. What impact will the mid-term elections have on US domestic and foreign policies?
5. Will Europe continue to set the pace globally on energy transition, and will new governments and scheduled elections create the conditions to resolve internal disputes and divisions?
6. How will the world’s largest oil and gas producers position themselves as their principal customers set a course for a low-carbon future?
7. Can Latin America bounce back from the damage done by COVID-19?
8. How effectively can sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia balance management of COVID-19 with rebooting their economies?
9. Will political pressure to make big tech more accountable for its political, social, and fiscal impacts translate into effective regulation in developed and emerging markets?
10. Will the global cooperation seen at COP26 have positive spillovers for global trade and international security in 2022?
