In this episode of our Fireside Chats series we’re talking with Rob Subbaraman, & Sonal Varma, from our Asia Economics team, on why Asia should be the outperforming region in 2021. We discuss why Asian economies are set to stand out given the potential for vaccine deployment and re-opening of the Global economy. What it means for inflation, policy rates and potential areas traders will be focused on. Finally, what are the key risks to their outlook, and are there other background structural trends to watch.
