IE Talks in Geneva: Are We Heading for Another 2008?

Join IE on February 23rd for a face-to-face event in Geneva.

According to the Financial Times, “Soaring inflation and supply chain bottlenecks have begun to crack the $1.5tn US junk bond market, as the lowest-quality borrowers show signs of stress.”

  • How will the European Central Bank and US Federal Reserve change their monetary policies to tackle this grim scenario?
  • In the midst of an ongoing pandemic and war, what will be the government’s fiscal policies given the uncertainty ahead?
  • What levels will inflation reach by the end of the year?
  • What will be the impact on markets?

Register, join the discussion, and find the answers to these questions. The session will be followed by a networking cocktail, so you will have the chance to connect with other ambitious professionals, meet IE team, IE Alumni, and the speaker.
