Global Recession Risk Radar The risk of a global economic recession beginning over the next two years has risen significantly in recent months. In response to intense interest from our clients, we hosted a ‘Global Recession Risks’ webinar in September. We outlined what could trigger a recession, what the implications for both developed and emerging markets would be and what warning signs we will be keeping an eye out for.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution Is Coming The ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ is one of the most publicized, but least understood themes for industry. We hosted a webinar on the topic in September, focusing on how the revolution will impact society and disrupt traditional business models. We also explored topics such as which industries are benefitting the most, and the role of government in preparing societies for the changes ahead.

The Belt And Road Rumble On In a new Belt and Road Special Report published in September, we analysed the rebranding of the initiative over 2019 to place greater focus on sustainability. We also presented our proprietary Belt and Road Scorecard, which uses a variety of macroeconomic, industry and geopolitical data to assess the opportunities and risks facing the Belt and Road in key regions and sectors.

Global Power Sector In Flux In our quarterly global renewable power report, we presented our overarching views on the sector. This included our expectation for non-hydropower renewable capacity to more than double over the coming decade, with China accounting for nearly half of additions. We also examined hot topics, including to what extent China’s Belt and Road Initiative will impact global renewable energy investment.

"It has been almost a decade since the 2010 cycle of redistricting, and the country is still reckoning with the impact."
-- Center for American Progress

Sula -- The Center for American Progress recently released a report on the impacts of partisan gerrymandering. While not surprising, the findings are damning: gerrymandering is effectively disenfranchising millions of Americans.

Redistricting is a civil rights issue. That's why AG Holder and President Obama have taken up the fight against manipulated maps and have asked you to join this grassroots movement to end gerrymandering.

The CAP report found that unfairly drawn congressional districts shifted an average of 59 seats in the House of Representatives during the 2012, 2014, and 2016 elections -- impacting the representation of approximately 42 million Americans.

CAP described the findings in very clear terms: "The inescapable conclusion is that gerrymandering is effectively disenfranchising millions of Americans. This should be considered a critical situation."

Map manipulation attempts to silence the voices of voters -- it's how states like Michigan saw Democrats win the popular vote from 2012 to 2016, yet Republicans held a decisive advantage at every level of government.

All On The Line is working to hold map manipulators accountable. Can we count on you to make a monthly donation to our grassroots organizing program?


All On The Line is the grassroots advocacy campaign supported by the National Redistricting Action Fund.

Brexit Deadline Nears Overview: Over the past week, news about the British exit from the European Union (Brexit) caused some volatility, but had little net effect. The economic data also had a minor impact, and mortgage rates ended the week nearly unchanged. After a lack of success for over three years, lawmakers are still racing to agree to a Brexit plan before the scheduled separation date of October 31. The latest proposal was rejected by the British Parliament this week, and there is not enough time to put together a new one before the end of the month. Since neither EU nor UK officials want the uncertainty created by a departure with no deal in place, many analysts expect that another extension to the deadline will be seen. The latest data from the housing sector contained mixed news. In September, sales of existing homes fell a little more than expected from August, but still were 4% higher than a year ago. The national median existing-home price was up 6% from a year ago. A lack of homes for sale in many regions again held back sales activity. Inventory levels nationally were at a 4.1-month supply and were 3% lower than a year ago. Regarding future supply, overall housing starts in September fell 9% from August. However, the surprisingly strong reading seen last month was the highest since June 2007, so a significant decline this month had been anticipated. In addition, the weakness was entirely due to volatile multi-family units, while single-family starts increased from August.
