About this work
Recession fears, trade tensions and weak emerging market currencies framed the macroeconomic questions for the IIF’s October 2019 Annual Meetings. Jonathan Fortun and Robin Brooks argued that fears of a US and global recession were overstated and that limited supply chain damage left scope for a rebound after a trade truce. They also examined why a positioning overhang was preventing emerging market currencies from benefiting as usual from a more accommodative Federal Reserve.
