WCO #10 WEBINAR 

After the Oil Shock: Consumer Spending in Turbulent Times

28th May 2026 4pm CET / 10am EST

The oil shock is real. The full consumer impact is still unfolding. In this session, World Data Lab takes you inside the data to explore which spending categories face the steepest pressure, where resilience is emerging, and how to navigate forecasting when the picture is moving this fast.

In this Webinar:

 Not all categories bend the same way. We're tracking which ones break first.
 The global consumer class still added over 100 million people in 2025. Turbulence slows the tide; it doesn't turn it.
 The next billion consumers are still coming. Trade friction changes their timeline, not their trajectory.
