Emerging Markets
Key Themes
Tuesday, 8th December 2020
Webinar :30 London GMT :30 New York EDT
This webinar will cover the key themes that we believe will affect emerging markets over the coming year as the global economy begins to recover from the Covid-19 crisis.
It will focus on the ways in which the recovery will play out at different speeds in different sectors and regions, and look at how policymakers will respond to a rapidly changing environment.
Topics covered will include:
- Which economies will bounce back fastest in 2021?
- Will some regions of the world suffer lasting economic damage?
- What is next for commodity prices?
- How will policymakers normalise fiscal and monetary policy in the years following the pandemic? What is the long-term outlook for monetary policy?
