“I think that what we are in right now is absolutely a food crisis.”
— Leah Wald

Location: Zoom
Date: Monday 20th April
Company: Exponential Capital
Role: CIO & Portfolio Manager

The coronavirus has had a dramatic impact on many aspects of our lives. Lockdowns have been implemented around the world, wreaking havoc on global economies leading to extreme new monetary and fiscal policies.

In many countries, the curve appears to be flattening, and governments are putting in place plans to remove some of the lockdown restrictions, but one thing that will continue to be affected is global supply chains.

In a global economy, supply chains are complicated, and the chain reaction from lockdowns is having an impact on many parts of the economy. Specifically, with regards to food, there is a risk that the breakdown in supply chains will lead to a hunger crisis in some parts of the world.

In this interview, I talk to Steven McClurg and Leah Wald the CIO & Portfolio Manager at Exponential Capital. We discuss the breakdown of the global supply chain, the social and economic impact, monetary policy and how this will impact developing nations.
