The Conference Board Economics Watch® - Emerging Markets View
Emerging Markets Quaterly Series
Is the commodity boom over? With the global economy weak, and demand from major Emerging Markets (EMs) decelerating, in recent months prices for a range of commodities have cratered. How will these price swings affect EMs’ economic performance? For many EMs, strengthening countercyclical fiscal and monetary policies, as well as transforming to a less commodity-intensive economic growth model, has become a necessity to buffer against commodity price volatilities. This webcast will examine the winners and losers in these economies and outline the implications for future growth.
