Award-Winning British Journalist, Author, Economist & Broadcaster
Liam Halligan Biography
Liam Halligan is a London-based economist, author and broadcaster - and also has extensive business experience.
Since 2003, he has written his multiple award-winning weekly "Economics Agenda" column in The Sunday Telegraph – which enjoys a large international following and has been recognized with a British Press Award, the highest prize in UK print journalism. He also created and co-presents the Telegraph's hugely-popular weekly Planet Normal podcast, which regularly appears in the Apple news podcast top-10 global rankings.
Earlier in his career, Halligan was based in Moscow – where he wrote an influential column in The Moscow Times, while covering Russia and the former Soviet Union for The Economist and The Economist Intelligence Unit. He was then appointed as Political Correspondent for The Financial Times (based in Parliament) before spending almost a decade leading the Economics and Business coverage at Channel 4 News – where he won the Wincott Business Broadcast Award a record four times, while twice recognized as the World Leadership Forum Business Broadcaster of the Year.
Outside of journalism, Halligan was previously Chief Economist and Partner at a leading asset management firm focussed on emerging markets, and has held boardroom roles across sectors include media, education and housing.
As one of the UK’s most respected economists, Halligan has been called to testify in front of numerous committees of both Houses of Parliament on subjects ranging from trade policy to housing, central banking and the "digital divide".
But his range of experience and expertise extends beyond economic and business themes, to include political, diplomatic and geo-strategic issues, too, relating to the UK, Europe and beyond. He has a particularly deep knowledge of the post-Communist world, emerging markets more broadly and global energy trends.
Halligan’s latest book, "Home Truths: The UK's Chronic Housing Shortage – How it Happened, Why it Matters and How to Solve It," was described by The Times as “vivid and lucid, a brilliantly-written gem”.
Leading journalist Andrew Neil said the book was “a must-read across Westminster, Whitehall and beyond”, describing Halligan as “a one-off – a card-carrying economist, with high-level political access, who can explain complex issues in readable, vivid prose”.
Former British Chancellor Lord Nigel Lawson described Halligan as “the leading economics journalist of his generation”.
Halligan posts regularly on his “When the Facts Change” Substack and his X account is @liamhalligan.
