The Post-Covid Economy
Presentation duration: 20 minutes
2020 will be the worst UK recession since ‘The Great Frost’ of 1709.
The difference with this recession is that it’s been caused by the government’s decisions to ‘lockdown’ vast parts of our economy. Effective vaccines seem imminent, which could return life to normal by next summer, but what will the post-Covid-19 economy look like? Will our service and industrial sectors be ‘scarred’? Or will this pandemic accelerate structural changes so that we become more efficient, reversing a decade of zero improvements in productivity?
Most important of all for investors and borrowers, will the all-time low global interest rates begin to increase in 2021 as things pick-up? Gary thinks interest rates have bottomed out and will begin to rise through the next cycle and in this session, he’ll explain why.
