The World Economic Forum has just published its latest Chief Economists Outlook, a regular report based on the views of senior economists around the world.

This edition shows a glass half full and half empty, with concerns of widespread economic recession easing since the last report in May, but slowing global growth and continued economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.

In this episode, Jérôme Haegeli, chief economist at Swiss Re, gives his views on the state of the global economy, and where things may be heading.
