Listen: Emerging from the Covid-19 crisis

The Covid-19 pandemic has ripped through the developing world this year with particular cruelty and ferocity, upending lives and livelihoods on a scale never seen before. In this podcast, ING's Trieu Pham takes a look at what the future holds for some of the hardest-hit countries in the world

A collapse in tourism and trade, plunging commodity prices and a slowdown in investment have been a toxic cocktail for emerging markets this year, many of which were struggling with high debt levels before the pandemic hit and were ill prepared to deal with a health crisis.

Yet demand for stocks and bonds has improved since hitting a nadir in March, and the US Federal Reserve’s plan to keep interest rates lower for longer could provide further relief. In this podcast, ING's Emerging Market Debt Strategist Trieu Pham tells Senior Editor Rebecca Byrne what he's expecting from developing economies and markets in the months ahead.
