Invitation-only Roundtable

Sizing up risks and opportunities in Emerging Markets

Tuesday 27th February

We’re delighted to invite you to join economists from across our Emerging Markets team for this exclusive in-person roundtable. During this hour-long session, you and a select group of your peers will hear about the key macro and market issues facing EMs, get your questions answered, and participate in lively discussion with our economists on the outlook for the coming months.

The team will be addressing key issues, including:

- Identifying the future EM “growth stars”.

- What Trump 2.0 would mean for Emerging Markets.

We will also be taking this opportunity to introduce our new, proprietary EM Financial Risk Indicators, and unpack what they tell us about vulnerabilities across the emerging world.
