Finance in action

The unique nature of this recession coupled with the recovery measures that have been rolled out are fuelling inflationary pressures. The question is: Is this a fleeting moment of turbulence caused by supply chain disruptions and pent-up demand? Or are we looking at a scenario where inflation spins out of control, driven by excess liquidity and ballooning fiscal deficits? This panel discussion is a chance to reflect on these pivotal issues that are keeping the markets on edge. Our two panelists come at the issue from different angles and will share their respective investment strategies with you. Join us! The link to log in to the webinar will be sent to you the day before.The discussions will be held in English, with a follow-up Q&A in both English and French.
