Scenarios for the German and Japanese Economy
Edgar Walk, Chief Economist, Metzler Asset Management
Looking back for merely four months, 'Corona' already has had a tremendous impact on the global economy. Given the facts that supply chains are greatly intertwined, and trade is being realized on global scale in most countries, there is barely any economy left unaffected by the current situation.
How did German and Japanese markets – both economies being great export nations – react, which countermeasures are being taken to cushion the impact? Can the institutions of EU, ECB, and BoJ work as stabilizing factors by granting financial stimuli? How quickly can Japan and Germany recover from recession? Which lessons are to be taken away from this crisis, looking at work behavior, supply chain diversification, health care systems?
