Why Are Stock Markets Powering On, Whilst COVID Rages, with Paul Donovan

Join us for an exclusive livestream conversation with Paul Donovan, Chief Economist, UBS Global Wealth Management; Julia Bishop, Country Director of One to One Africa; Jonathan Penkin, CEO Goldman Sachs South Africa; and Lord Daniel Finkelstein. 

COVID-19 may be receding in Europe, but in much of the world, it is increasingly rampant. The catastrophic situation in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is comprehensively described in this BBC report. Yet stock markets seem to be powering on regardless. 

In this exclusive One to One livestream event, Julia Bishop, the Country Director of One to One Africa, will give us an on-the-ground report about this very urgent situation in the Eastern Cape.

Paul Donovan, Chief Economist, UBS Global Wealth Management, will then place this news in a global economic context. Times columnist, Lord Daniel Finkelstein, will explore with him some key business and financial questions, such as: Why have global stock markets held up in the face of the pandemic, and will they continue to do so? What is the outlook for the UK and global economies? What should individuals do to look after their own finances?

This far-reaching webinar will be introduced by Jonathan Penkin, CEO Goldman Sachs South Africa and Head of Growth Markets ECM at Goldman Sachs International and One to One Trustee.

You’ll also get the chance to pose your own questions.
