In the first episode of our recently launched podcast, we analyse the economic impacts of the crisis unleashed by the COVID 19 outbreak in both Europe and Asia. We delve into the economic and financial measures set in place by the European Union and assess their effectiveness. We compare this crisis to that of 2008, we examine the best financial tools for countries to come out of this crisis in the best shape possible and we try to look into which countries in Europe seem to be in a better position to tackle this crisis.
In the second part of the episode, we examine the situation in Asia, with a particular focus on China, and we provide our forecast on the economic outlook of the region. We explore different geopolitical factors (such as the recent US elections), examine the vaccine production and distribution in China as well as the country's policies to tackle the economic crisis unleashed by the pandemic. Finally, we look into the behaviour of both the banking industry and the stock markets in Asia and China in particular.
