Clash of the Titans III hosted by the Economic Research Council

Tue, 10 Dec, 2013 18:30 - 20:30

On Tuesday 10 Dec, the Economic Research Council (ERC) will host its third annual Clash of the Titans event at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

This year's Titans are three influential alumni from the united Kingdom's top economics departments. Hear from Stephen King (HSBC, representing Oxford), Kevin Daly (Goldman Sachs, representing Cambridge), and Ros Altmann (independent expert, representing London School of Economics) who will each give their predictions of how the U.K. economy will fare in 2014.  

Challenging the speakers will be Andrew Sentance, Senior Economic Adviser at PwC and former MPC member. ERC President Lord Norman Lamont will be announcing the winner from last year's competition.

This year's Titans:

  • Stephen King is HSBC’s Group Chief Economist and the Bank’s Global Head of Economics and Asset Allocation research. He is directly responsible for HSBC’s global economic coverage and co-ordinates the research of HSBC economists all over the world. In 2012, Stephen became a member of the Financial Times “A List”, and also writes regularly for the main comment pages in The Times. Stephen studied economics and philosophy at New College, Oxford.

  • Kevin Daly is a senior economist on the Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy team at Goldman Sachs. He joined Goldman Sachs in 2001 and was named managing director in 2010. In 2011 he assumed primary responsibility for covering the UK economy. Kevin has been awarded the Society of Business Economists’ Rybczynski Prize twice, in 2004 and in 2007, and was elected to the Council of the SBE in November 2007.  Kevin studied Economics at Cambridge University.

  • Ros Altmann is an independent expert on pensions policy, investment, savings, annuities and retirement. She is an economist by training and has worked in fund management in the City as well as advising Government, regulators, corporates, financial firms, trustees and consumer groups on all areas of pensions, from state pension policy, to private pension developments and investment management of pension funds. Before her City career, Ros was an academic at London School of Economics researching and publishing on UK pension policy, occupational pensions and retirement.
