Coronavirus update: A view from the ground

The outbreak of the coronavirus and concerns about what its rapid spread could mean for global markets and economies have prompted this special episode of Capital Ideas. Hong Kong-based economist Stephen Green discusses the supply-chain disruptions already taking shape, which sectors stand to lose — or gain — from the crisis and how soon "business as usual" might be expected to return to China and global economies. Stephen Green covers Asia from Hong Kong. He has 14 years of investment industry experience, four with Capital. He holds a PhD in government from the London School of Economics and a first-class honors degree in social and political sciences from Cambridge.
