Lockdown and Vaccines – The ongoing impact of COVID-19 on Australia’s outlook

Online |

The emergence of community transmission of the Delta variant of COVID-19 has sent Australian cities into lockdown. This more transmissible strain of the virus has prompted swift action from state governments to restrict trading and travel activity, which will test the resilience of the maturing recovery. In this session, our Chief Economist Sarah Hunter and Principal Economist Sean Langcake will discuss how the current restrictions are shaping our outlook for the economy in 2021, and the risks associated with more protracted lockdowns. They will also discuss the role of the vaccine rollout in potentially normalising conditions, drawing on recent international experiences. In this panel discussion session, our Chief Economist Sarah Hunter and Principal Economist Sean Langcake will discuss the following: The latest round of lockdowns have clearly impacted household spending and mobility, how long will the recovery take? Is vaccination the only long term solution? And will this be enough? What is the transition to ‘COVID-normal’ likely to look like?

[Panel Discussion] COVID-19: The demographic winners & losers within Australia

Online |

With the economic recovery well underway, the long term economic impact of COVID-19 is now receiving more attention. The closure of the international border has turned Net Overseas Migration negative – the pace of population growth has fallen to its lowest level in over a century. This shift is having a profound (and in some cases surprising) impact on the domestic economy, the housing market, and construction sector activity. In this panel discussion session, our Chief Economist Sarah Hunter, Principal Economist Sean Langcake, and Principal Building Economist Tim Hibbert will discuss the following: When and how we expect the border to re-open, What the latest visa application and grant data suggests about the recovery in overseas migration over the next five years, How this recovery will feed through to individual states, and what this will mean for economic activity, How internal migration and birth rates have responded to the pandemic, and what this will mean for the local economy. We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between the Americas, APAC and EMEA: APAC - Thursday 15th April | 13:00 pm AEST EMEA - Friday 16th April | 10:00 am BST Americas - Friday 16th April | 16:00 EDT

Impffortschritt und nachlassende Lieferengpässe bringen 2022 neuen Wachstumsschwung

Online |

Thema: Im europäischen Vergleich fiel der deutschen Wirtschaft dieses Jahr zunehmend die Rolle des Nachzüglers zu. Zwar legte die Politik mit ihren Fiskalimpulsen und den anfänglichen Impferfolgen ein robustes Konjunkturfundament, jedoch brachten erhebliche Lieferengpässe und stark steigende Energiepreise die Industrie ins Straucheln. Zudem dürfte die vierte Infektionswelle der Konsumerholung ein jähes Ende bereiten. Dennoch erwarten wir, dass sich das Wachstum nach einem schwachen Winterhalbjahr zunehmend belebt. Wobei insbesondere die Industrie neue Impulse setzen sollte, sobald die Lieferengpässe nachlassen. Unsere Referenten:

Online |

Giunti alla fine del 2021, un’anno che ha confermato le aspettative di una robusta crescita, e con il 2022 ormai alle porte vorremmo analizzare le tematiche che caratterizzeranno ed influenzeranno il quadro macroeconomico nel corso del nuovo anno: dalla rinnovata prospettiva di crescita sostenuta dai consumi privati, passando per i rischi al ribasso legati alle difficolta’ di approvvigionamento lungo la catena del valore, per poi concentrarci sull’inflazione, che rimane l’argomento piu’ dibattuto e che sara’ il fattore chiave da tenere sotto osservazione ad inizio 2022.Parleremo di tutto questo senza ovviamente dimenticare la lenta uscita dalla crisi dovuta al Coronavirus, aiutata si dalle massicce campagne vaccinali ma che proprio in questi giorni si deve scontrare con la diffusione della nuova variante Omnicron che potrebbe portare a delle turbolenze anche in campo economico.
