EM crisis policies appropriate and sustainable (but with inflation clouds)
Hats off to EM policymakers, whose deployment of an unprecedented battery of monetary and prudential policies continues to deserve the favourable response from asset markets. We shall argue their debt and long Covid legacies are generally manageable, but some short-term inflationary concerns will bother policy this year.
Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for APAC, EMEA and Americas friendly timezones:
- APAC – Friday 19th February | 14:00 HKT
- EMEA – Friday 19th February | 10:00 GMT
- Americas – Friday 19th February | 16:00 EST

Cutting back – a low energy demand pathway to net zero
The Global Climate Service quantifies the macroeconomic impacts of six climate scenarios against our Oxford Economics baseline. These scenarios help businesses understand the trade-offs and implications of climate mitigation. This quarter, our new scenario “Low Energy Demand” highlights the role of reducing energy demand in the clean energy transition. In this scenario, the failure to decarbonise the grid and develop necessary technology like carbon capture compels the world to reduce energy demand. We assume that stringent climate policies are essential to induce the efficiency improvements and behavioural change required to meet climate goals. As the world transforms to make do with less energy, the economy is structurally changed in the long term.
