Henry Curr has led The Economist’s economics coverage since 2018—through the pandemic, the return of inflation, the energy crisis and the American banking crisis of 2023. Henry writes the bulk of The Economist’s economics leaders (editorials), and has led or contributed to over thirty cover stories. His journalism has been cited frequently by policymakers in Europe and America, and in 2021 he won the Society of Professional Economists’ Rybczynski Prize for economics writing.

Henry joined The Economist as Britain economics correspondent in 2014 and was the newspaper’s main writer on the American economy from 2015-18, a period that included the first monetary tightening since the global financial crisis and the first half of the Trump administration. Henry has a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics and an M.Phil. in Economics, both from the University of Oxford, where he was the John Hicks Foundation prize winner.
