Liz is a well-known voice in financial media, frequently appearing on television and radio to discuss UK monetary policy and fiscal challenges. Her career at HSBC spans over 15 years, during which she has held several key roles: Strategic Analysis & Forecasting, Client & Corporate Advisory and Media & Public Representation
The UK economy has started 2026 on a better footing. With another tricky Budget now out of the way, surveys suggest activity and confidence have seen something of a New Year bounce and at CMA we are also seeing an early year improvement in both job volumes and recruitment sentiment.
But it’s been eventful on the political front too, globally and domestically. Can business and household confidence withstand the challenges? Join HSBC’s Senior UK Economist Liz Martins, who will set out her views and answer your questions on the outlook for growth, inflation, interest rates and more.
