Clavel joins Axa IM from the French National Statistical Institute (INSEE) where he was head of the forecasting unit and responsible for INSEE’s Quarterly Economic Outlook.
Based in Paris, he will focus specifically on international trade and financial flows, cross-border investments, and exchange rates.
Chaney, Axa IM head of research and Axa group chief economist, said Clavel had knowledge and experience of both French and international macroeconomic analysis, extensive academic background and experience of working at INSEE.
This “would significantly reinforce ability to analyse and anticipate world economics and international financial markets”, he said.
