The value of individual philanthropy to the global economy is difficult to measure and therefore woefully underestimated. But its impact is undeniable. In this Citi GPS report, we focus on aspects of individual giving that we can measure – time and money – and estimate that global individual giving reaches $1.3 trillion every year. This can be broken down into $770 billion in monetary donations and $560 billion in the economic value of hours volunteered. To put this figure in context, individuals give time and money making up more than 1% of global GDP every year and 6x the official development assistance committed by OECD countries in 2023.

America’s restaurant industry has endured dramatic change in recent years. Covid forced many restaurants to shut down, and the survivors had to adapt their operating models for a world of social distancing. Coming out of the pandemic, stimulus benefits, higher wages and asset prices, and steady employment brought a wave of discretionary spending that benefited restaurants. But since late 2023, cracks have appeared in the form of a bifurcation in the marketplace between high- and low-income consumers, with the latter in particular feeling the impact of inflation on discretionary spend. Meanwhile, changing attitudes toward health and wellness are starting to impact menu options. Join Rob Rowe, U.S. Regional Director of Research, and Jon Tower, U.S. Restaurant Analyst, as they discuss how the industry and its customers are responding to the shifting landscape, and how restaurants are likely to fare over the coming year.
