Special: China's zero-COVID policy at the limits
from The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics · host Capital Economics
China's zero-COVID policy is under mounting strain as the economy reels and public anger grows. The government is responding but will it be enough to bring relief to China's economic outlook and its beleaguered public? And what do record infection numbers and the threat of more lockdowns mean for the global economy? On 29th November, economists from our China, Global, Commodities and Markets teams held a special online briefing with clients to take questions and explain what the latest developments mean for everything from vaccination rates to global oil demand to the renminbi. In this special edition of The Weekly Briefing, you can hear the 25-minute discussion between Chief Global Economist Jennifer McKeown, Chief Asia Economist Mark Williams, Senior Markets Economist Jonas Goltermann and Commodities Economist Ed Gardner.
