How have emerging economies weathered the Covid storm? This week on Macro Matters, we look across Latin America, Russia and Asia to understand the different challenges facing emerging markets along the road to recovery.

In this episode our host Stephanie Kelly is joined by two of our Emerging Market Economists from the ASI Research Institute, Robert Gilhooly and Edward Glossop. Together, they discuss the Covid crisis from the perspective of emerging markets and the implications of the crisis on future growth prospects.

Part 1 begins by explaining the EM experience of the pandemic versus DMs before focusing on Latin America to discuss the political implications of the crisis.

Part 2 gives an update on Chinese and Russian vaccine diplomacy and the impact of the Biden administration on Latin America and China.
