Southeast Asia's prolonged pandemic

GC expert panel with Thomas Gratowski, Practice Lead, global macro; Brigitta Kinadi, Senior Associate; and Jens Presthus, Senior Associate. They discussed:

• Why governments, for instance, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam, are struggling to contain new outbreaks well over a year into the pandemic
• What these new setbacks mean for their economic recoveries
• How cash-strapped governments are looking outside their borders, including to the Middle East, for financing much-needed infrastructure projects
• What all this means for political stability and the geopolitical balance of power in the region
