In this presentation Industry Professor Warren Hogan will discuss the macro financial dynamics of the COVID-19 shock, including:

  • What does the initial economic shock look like and what existing vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the economic downturn?
  • The Australian emergency policy strategy explained.
  • Impact on financial markets and the banking system?
  • Overview of global economic and financial impacts.
  • Initial thoughts on the exit strategy for governments, business and investors.
