Macro and Fixed Income discussions: “With significant turmoil in global markets, it has never been so interesting to analyse and understand drivers of global demand, national growth patterns, changes in valuations of financial assets and in human behaviours. Do you have an opinion? What is next? We will discuss together about the slowdown in China, the changing price of oil, the impact on global commodities and emerging market currencies, the reactions of policymakers in developed markets and what all of this means for final investors in the country you may come from.”
