The annual Investing Fixed Income, Europe 2022 report follows the Institutional Fixed Income Summit | Europe 2021 and explores external market pressures, industry evolution, and the impact of monetary policy, from the perspective of institutional asset owners.

Asset owners have been faced with an increasingly complex investment landscape to navigate and having to respond to fast paced market shocks and recovery during 2020 has initiated a re-examination of whether traditional allocation rules are still viable in the current climate. The relationship between fiscal and monetary policy has become increasingly intertwined, provoking thought leaders to question whether Central Banks will remain independent, as well as the trajectory of quantitative easing and inflation.

This report will explore macro issues related in inflation and interest rates, strategic asset allocation, responsible investing and the evolution of the regulatory environment.
