Webinar: Asia shutting down, Europe opening up and the US inflating

Parts of Asia are going back into lockdown amid renewed virus waves, even as Europe starts to reopen and looks towards a rapid recovery. But the US experience highlights the risk that with a strong rebound comes an inflationary sting. Small wonder that markets are nervous. Join our senior economists for our latest Global State of Play briefing – an opportunity to hear their latest views on the outlook for advanced and emerging economies, and the financial market impact. In this upcoming session, economists led by Jennifer McKeown, the head of our Global Economics service, will assess how the major economies are faring as the struggle to escape the pandemic continues:
  • Asia shuts down – How economically damaging will these latest waves of infection prove?
  • Europe reopens – Will the euro-zone economy follow the US up, and will it follow the US down the inflation path?
  • The US inflates – How far will inflation rise and for how long? Will the Fed blink?
  • …and what does this all this mean for financial markets?
Times: 08:00 and 16:00 BST, Thursday 27th May.
