As the global financial crisis continues, it is still unclear what the fallout will be for different regions of the world. Many emerging economies have shown great success in recent years, suggesting they may be more resilient to global economic shocks than in the past. However, a major global slowdown will undoubtedly weigh on this success.
This conference call will discuss the political-economic risks and impact of the global financial crisis on Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Asia
- China - insulated from contagion
- SE Asia - 'over-integration' economically into the world economic order?
- East vs. West - has eastern conservatism trumped western adventurism in the financial sector?
- Africa
- How will economies cope if commodity prices collapse?
- Will financing dry up for African infrastructure spending?
- Will donors tighten their aid budgets?
- Latin America
- How dependent are Latin American markets on exports, and how diversified are they?
- How integrated is Latin America to the US market?
- Can domestic markets substitute for slowing export demand?
