Allianz chief economic advisor Mohamed El-Erian was named LinkedIn?s top influencer of 2016.
LinkedIn said of El-Erian:
There?s a reason El-Erian is at the top of this list: His incisive commentary on the global economy, financial markets and monetary policies–not to mention his short-form updates–have made him a must-read on LinkedIn for years. His favorite posts, he says, are those that look at ?how companies, households and governments are having to deal with disruptions both from above and from below.? For example: He wrote about what the U.K. and European Union may look like three years after Brexit; reflected on why low oil prices have gone from blessing to curse; and mused on the ?Titanic risks? facing the retirement system.
