The subjects covered will include trends in economics, raw material supply, insurance premiums and credit insurance, energy costs and supply, currency fluctuations, and the availability of finance.

The BPF’s Philip Law said: “This year there are particular concerns about the cycling of raw materials prices and the availability of some polymers.

“There is a lot of concern about energy costs and whether there will be enough energy to feed industry and whether we are building to replace ageing energy infrastructure fast enough.”

Law said most companies are now looking to budget for 2012 and this event had been timed to coincide with this. He added: “If you are there isolated in your own company you would probably base your budget decisions on the latest article in the FT what we are doing is getting experts including a bank to talk about their views on what the economy is likely to do next year.”
