3.00pm - 4.00pm CET:
The Post-COVID World: Economic
& Market Outlook
COVID-19: 12 months after more than half the world’s
population was confined in lockdown, new strains of the virus are forcing
governments to keep restrictions tight for now. How did we go from shock to
fear, then fear to anger and how can we move from anger to reconstruction? We
will endeavour to answer these questions in economic, social, political, and
geopolitical terms.
Macro outlook: With vaccination programmes making rapid progress and
massive fiscal support from governments, economists are revising growth
forecasts higher and investors have begun to fret about inflation, a paradigm
shift after decades of anaemic price rises. What does all this mean for the
global economy?
Global asset allocation views: The impending cyclical upturn, the size
of Biden’s fiscal plans and emerging inflationary worries have combined to push
bond yields ever higher since last summer. Will this surge last and what are
our asset class preferences?
