Neil Shearing
Help organisations navigate global economic shifts with Neil Shearing, Group Chief Economist at Capital Economics. Neil analyses geopolitics, trade, and macroeconomic trends for clients worldwide, featuring regularly in the Financial Times, Bloomberg TV, and BBC News.
Neil Shearing is Group Chief Economist at Capital Economics, one of the world's foremost economic research firms, and a leading voice on how geopolitics is reshaping the global economy.
Neil's analysis appears regularly in the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, and on Bloomberg TV, CNBC, and BBC News, with his weekly note read by thousands every Monday. He is the author of The Fractured Age, named in the Financial Times' Books of the Year shortlist, and previously served as Capital's Chief Emerging Markets Economist and as an Economic Adviser at HM Treasury.
Described by Martin Wolf of the Financial Times as a clear-headed and original thinker, Neil draws on decades of advising policymakers and business leaders to explain how trade flows, supply chains, and capital movements are being redrawn by deepening US-China rivalry and the rise of new geopolitical blocs. He also examines how artificial intelligence will unevenly reshape economic growth in the years ahead.
Audiences gain a clear framework for understanding which economies and sectors stand to benefit from these shifts, which face the greatest exposure, and how to plan accordingly. Neil's analysis brings rigour and authority to questions that are usually met with speculation.
Book Neil Shearing for rigorous, evidence-based insight into the economics of a fracturing world.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
