HSBC’s 38th Global Investment Seminar – Going Virtual
Monday, January 25 – Thursday, January 28, 2021
The wellbeing of our customers and our colleagues is our first priority, so in light of the COVID-19 situation, we have decided to make the 38th Annual HSBC Global Investment Seminar – entirely virtual for the first time.
Major breakthroughs on vaccine developments have lowered uncertainty and revived confidence even as many advanced economies find themselves under varying degrees of lockdown amid worryingly high rates of COVID-19 infections. The outlook is brightening but how will the pace and mix of global growth evolve through 2021? Can China, the world’s single biggest driver of global growth, be relied upon to support the next leg of the recovery elsewhere? What does a post-Brexit world look like for the UK and EU? How constrained will US president-elect Joe Biden be in delivering on his campaign promises. We ask whether markets are right to be displaying a greater appreciation of the risks of higher inflation? And consider the impact on the rates and FX markets around the world, including whether it’s time to be all-in or more selective on EM assets.
Join us to hear from HSBC’s highly rated economists and strategists as they present their latest thinking on the major themes for markets and economies, along with their forecasts and views for 2021.
