Most countries are emerging from a “very disorienting economy that we were stuck in for a while, where there were big swings in inflation, interest rates and migration flows for some economies,” MEI’s David Mann told CNBC . Squawk Asia Box”.
He added that “we’re still finishing off that tail end of the bungee jump” following the Covid-19 pandemic, and expects calmer inflation and slightly higher wage growth next year — potentially leading to real wage growth.
The MEI noted in its report that the global economy will look “more normal” in 2024, but that consumers will most likely remain cautious about spending.
Mann also highlighted that international travel is only about 55% recovered. But entering 2024, countries like China and Japan have the potential to see greater momentum in outbound travels, as China reopens and tourists take advantage of a weaker yen, he explained.

Inflation expectations for next year have reached their lowest point in more than two-and-a-half years, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.
The November Customer Expectations Survey showed that the median year-over-year outlook fell to 3. 4%, down 0. 2 points from October and the lowest since April 2021. Median three- and five-year expectations were replaced at 3% and 2. 7%, respectively.
However, the effects are in line with surveys such as the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment reading, which showed that the year-over-year outlook plummeted to 3. 1%, the lowest level in this survey since March 2021.
As a result of these results, the outlook for gas costs for next year fell 0. 5 percentage points to 4. 5%, while the outlook for food costs fell 0. 3 percentage points to 5. 3%.
