A monthly update on the European economy
The new variant of Covid-19 has forced the UK to go into a renewed lockdown. Meanwhile, contagions in Continental Europe have not reached the levels of the UK and it is still uncertain how this new variant will affect these countries.
With vaccination programmes well underway across the globe, will these new lockdowns have an impact on the economic forecasts drawn up at the end of 2020?
Watch this new edition of our monthly update to find out how we believe the economy and markets will respond to these new developments in the pandemic.
Peter Schaffrik and his team authored “Europe 2021: Life after the pandemic” published on December 11, 2020. For more information about the full report, please contact your RBC Capital Markets representative.
