U.S. credit card debt soared to $1.08 trillion in the third quarter of 2023, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showed earlier this month. "I don't think we're facing the next GFC [global financial crisis]," he said on the sidelines of the UBS European Conference. Credit tightening does play a role when it comes to the lag of Federal Reserve monetary policy filtering through to the economy, Pingle suggested. The Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates in March 2022 in an effort to ease inflation and cool the economy. "It's great news for the Federal Reserve in their quest to restore price stability," Pingle told CNBC on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the bank's economists suggested that "fewer of the supports for growth that enabled 2023 to overcome those obstacles will continue in 2024." Between March 2022 and July 2023, the FOMC enacted a run of 11 rate hikes to take the Fed funds rate from a target range of 0.25-0.5% to 5.25-5.5%. The bank believes this has renewed growth concerns and shows the economy is "not out of the woods yet." watch now"In our view, the private sector looks less insulated from the FOMC's rate hikes next year. Looking ahead, we expect substantially slower growth in 2024, a rising unemployment rate, and meaningful reductions in the federal funds rate, with the target range ending the year between 2.50% and 2.75%."

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said Thursday that the ongoing Israel-Hamas war poses a potential risk to the bank's efforts to bring down inflation. "So far, I would say, we haven't seen a marked increase in energy prices, and that's obviously good," Bailey told CNBC's Joumanna Bercetche. The World Bank warned in a quarterly update Monday that crude oil prices could rise to more than $150 a barrel if the conflict escalates. On Thursday, the bank held interest rates steady once again but said that monetary policy would need to remain tight for an "extended period of time." U.K. inflation came in at 6.7% in September, slightly ahead of expectations and unchanged from the previous month.

Mandel Ngan | Afp | Getty ImagesTop economists and central bankers appear to be in agreement on one thing: interest rates will stay higher for longer, clouding the outlook for global markets. Despite the pause, Fed officials have signaled that rates may have to remain higher for longer than markets had initially expected if inflation is to sustainably return to the central bank's 2% target. The European Central Bank last month issued a 10th consecutive interest rate hike to take its main deposit facility to a record 4% despite signs of a weakening euro zone economy. "We may have more shocks that may drive inflation up, and that's why of course we have to remain very cautious about inflation developments."

The latest euro zone inflation figures are "comforting" — but oil prices still pose a risk that could push the European Central Bank into another rate hike, Belgium's central bank governor said Thursday. "It is one of the factors that, you know, could push inflation higher ... inflation would be higher in a way that we will not meet our target in [2025], then I think would have to do more," Pierre Wunsch told CNBC's Joumanna Bercetche, referring to a persistent shock in the price of oil. "If inflation would be higher than our forecast, no more than marginally, then I think we have to do more," he also said. When asked whether this marked a change in approach for the ECB, many members of which in 2021 described inflation driven by energy markets as transitory, Wunsch said: "I think it's just our reading of the impact of a succession of shocks has changed." The last 23 years of observing and modeling inflation had led policymakers to believe "sustained inflation was becoming close to impossible," Wunsch said in an interview at the International Monetary Fund's annual meetings in Marrakech, Morocco.

Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), speaks to the media following talks at the Chancellery on November 29, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. "If you look at the policy decisions Germany is taking, they are around stimulating structural change. And of course, like any other country, structural reforms are a must in this more uncertain world with low gross growth prospects," Georgieva said Wednesday.

"For Germany, this is very visible in the need to restructure the automobile sector for this economy of tomorrow," she said.

The CEO of Swedish-Swiss multinational robotics firm ABB said he has been "disappointed" by the state of the Chinese market, adding he expects conditions will prove challenging for the rest of the year. "We are pretty pessimistic at the moment" on China, said Rosengren. With its machines embedded in so many major global companies' factories, the company's performance serves as something of a barometer for the health of the manufacturing sector — and the broader economy. ABB says it's the leading robotics player in the Chinese market, accounting for more than 90% of sales from locally-made products, solutions and services there. In the second quarter of 2023, ABB reported a 2% increase in orders on a comparable basis, to $8.7 billion.

UBS posted a second-quarter profit of $28.88 billion in its first quarterly earnings since Switzerland's largest bank completed its takeover of stricken rival Credit Suisse. UBS said the result primarily reflected $28.93 billion in negative goodwill on the Credit Suisse acquisition. UBS paid a discounted 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.4 billion) to acquire Credit Suisse in March. "Credit Suisse has excellent people, clients, and product capabilities, but the business model was not sustainable any longer and needs to be restructured." UBS delayed reporting its second-quarter results — initially scheduled for July 25 — until after completing the Credit Suisse takeover on June 12.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said Thursday that the central bank remains cautious in its battle to tame stubbornly high inflation as U.K. data continues to offer "unwelcome surprises." Bailey told CNBC that he was encouraged by recent inflation figures, which prompted policymakers to raise rates by a widely anticipated 25 basis points earlier Thursday, putting the main rate at 5.25%. But he added that the central bank had no intention of pausing rate hikes as has been signaled by the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. "I'm being more cautious because, frankly, we are still seeing some surprises in the news, and I think we need to get ourselves onto a more settled path," Bailey told CNBC's Joumanna Bercetche. "We've seen some quite big surprises in recent months," Bailey said, citing "frankly unwelcome surprises" in June.

LONDON — Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey on Thursday defended an about-turn in the bank's U.K. growth forecast, saying its "biggest upgrade" ever reflected the rapidly shifting economic landscape. At its policy meeting earlier Thursday, the central bank said it no longer expects the U.K. to enter into recession this year. "They are conditional on financial market prices, they're conditional on commodity prices, they're conditional on government policies. So, as those conditions change, we change our forecasts," he said. "We have deal with all these things, which is why our forecasts do change and do evolve," he said.
