ABOUT HENRY CURR

I have led The Economist’s economics coverage since 2018—through the covid-19 pandemic, the return of inflation, Europe\'s energy crisis of 2022, the American banking crisis of 2023 and the Trump tariffs of 2025. I write the bulk of The Economist’s economics leaders (editorials), and have done so for dozens of cover stories. I am frequently the author of the annual world economy special report. My journalism has been cited often by policymakers in Europe and America, and I am a past winner of the Society of Professional Economists’ Rybczynski Prize for economics writing. I sit on the advisory council of University College London\'s Policy Lab and am a Visiting Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. I joined The Economist as Britain economics correspondent in 2014 and was the newspaper’s main writer on the American economy from 2015-18, a period that included the first monetary tightening since the global financial crisis and the first half of the Trump administration. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and an M.Phil. in Economics, both from the University of Oxford, where I was the John Hicks Foundation prize winner.I often appear on television and radio, and moderate and speak at events. My short videos on economics have over 10m combined cross-platform views.I am represented by Chartwell engagements please contact Karen O’Donnell: k••••@chartwellspeakers.com For media appearances please go via The Economist\'s media directory:https://mediadirectory.economist.com/people/henry-curr/
