Henry Curr has led The Economist’s economics coverage since 2018—through the covid-19 pandemic, the return of inflation, Europe's energy crisis of 2022 and the American banking crisis of 2023. His journalism has been cited often by policymakers in Europe and America, and in 2021 he won the Society of Professional Economists’ Rybczynski Prize for economics writing. He sits on the advisory council of University College London's Policy Lab and is a Visiting Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford.

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. He 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.
