Edelman Trust Barometer 2021
Brexit, COVID-19, the related economic downturn, and a rising infodemic are profoundly testing our trust in societal institutions. Please join us for the launch of the 2021 Edelman Ireland Trust Barometer where we will discuss the long-term economic and societal implications of these issues. How are they influencing trust in Government, business, and media? What impact will they have on the future of city economies, health services, Ireland’s relationship with the United Kingdom, and public policy decisions in respect of economic recovery?
Edelman’s Trust Barometer is the most robust global examination of trust surveying more than 34,000 respondents in 28 countries. Joe Carmody, Managing Director of Edelman, will present the findings of the Barometer and host a panel discussion with:
- Lord Jim O’Neill who served as the UK Government’s Commercial Secretary to the Treasury where he was chiefly charged with making regional financial devolution, and ideas such as the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ viable projects. He is the former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management and is credited as the creator of the acronym BRIC based on his research into Brazil, Russia, India, China, and other emerging economies. He is a published author and the current chairman of Chatham House; the international affairs think tank. Jim is also an Honorary Professor of Economics at Manchester University.
- Andrea Catherwood an award-winning news broadcaster and journalist, with over 25 years’ experience as a national TV and radio presenter. She is currently a BBC Radio 4 presenter and documentary maker. Her recent documentary highlighted Northern Ireland’s precarious demographics and explored the effect of Brexit on its future.
