The crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic destroyed millions of jobs, broke many traditional supply chains, put some sectors of the economy on the brink of destruction, and gave another unexpected impetus to others. The countries of Eurasia, like all emerging markets, are among the main victims of the crisis. What future the economies of Eurasia await? Do some local industries have a chance to make a breakthrough or do they only need to think about cutting costs and reducing losses? Invited experts will talk about this on our new panel from the StrategEast.Live series.
Join us on Wednesday, May 20 at 10:00-11:00 EST (16:00-17:00 CET)
Panel Moderator:
Anatoly Motkin, President of StrategEast,
Speakers:
- Torbjörn Becker, Director of Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics
- Margot Ellis, Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator, USAID
- Artur Radziwill, Director for Country Economics and Policy, EBRD
Among the issues to be discussed on the panel are:
– which sectors of the global economy will have to “rethink themselves” after a pandemic?
– which industries can become new “growth points” in the countries of Eurasia?
– what profession people should gain during the quarantine?
– how the authorities of the countries of Eurasia can stimulate economic recovery, given that they do not have significant reserves for direct injections of money into the economy?
