"Will the global economy fall back into recession?"

Date of activity: 
Friday, 27 August 2010
Type of activity: 
Joint Chamber Lunch Seminar
Speaker: 
Dr. Joerg Kraemer
Description: 

Since spring 2009, the global economy has been growing again. However, there are significant risks. The euro-zone suffers from a sovereign debt crisis, high U.S. unemployment has hardly fallen and growth in China may slow down markedly.

Dr. Joerg Kraemer, Chief Economist of Commerzbank, critically analyses these risks. He gives an outlook for the US, European and Asian economies and demonstrates what this could mean for FX and fixed income markets.

Dr. Joerg Kraemer has been Chief Economist of Commerzbank since 2006. Prior to that, he was Chief Economist of Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank in Munich and Chief Economist of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH in Frankfurt. Dr. Kraemer began his career at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, where he received his PhD from Prof. Dr. Horst Siebert, the former President of the institute. Since 2009, Dr. Kraemer is a member of the ECB Shadow Council.

Companies wishing to reserve a table (10-12 pax) will have priority on prime location for their company, clients and guests.
