Webinar: Managing your business in the face of global challenges

Inflation and the housing crisis: what impact for companies?

In an ever-changing global economic context, marked by successive crises, persistent inflation, housing market tensions and growing public debt, business leaders face major challenges. This cycle of three webinars aims to provide UCO alumni with keys to understanding how to navigate this complex environment, based on the analyses of Dr Karl-Friedrich Israel, economic policy expert and lecturer at the Université catholique de l'Ouest.

On Tuesday October 14, 2025, take part in the first webinar in this cycle on the theme of inflation and the housing crisis.
Persistent inflation and the housing crisis in developed countries are affecting not only households, but also the economic fabric.

In this webinar, Dr Karl-Friedrich Israel will explore the causes of these phenomena, including expansionary monetary policies and real estate speculation, and discuss their impact on consumption, worker mobility and corporate operating costs. Particular attention will be paid to the situation in France, where property prices have almost tripled since the introduction of the euro, exacerbating social and economic inequalities.

Free of charge and open to all graduates of the Université catholique de l'Ouest, this workshop will be held from 12.45pm to 1.45pm (Paris time). After a 45-minute presentation, there will be 15 minutes for questions and answers.
