The Effects of COVID-19 on Latin America and the Economic Outlook

Please join the CSIS Americas Program and the CSIS Economics Program for a discussion on how the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the outlook in Latin America. The ongoing surge in Covid-19 cases across the region raises questions about the timing of recovery, adequacy of macroeconomic responses, and the role of private and official sectors in responding to the unprecedented health and economic crises. This event will explore these issues, as well as sector-specific outlooks in the wake of the pandemic, and the outlook for sovereign and corporate debt.

Featuring a discussion with Geoffrey Okamoto, Deputy First Managing Director, International Monetary Fund.

Followed by a panel discussion:

• Chris Campbell, Chief Strategist, Duff & Phelps Institute
• Kevin Gallagher, Professor of Global Development Policy, Boston University, and Director of the Global Development Policy Center
• Samar Maziad, Vice President and Senior Analyst, Sovereign, Moody’s Investors Service

Moderated by Stephanie Segal, Senior Fellow, Economics Program, CSIS

This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Duff & Phelps Institute.
