Economic Update & Financial Outlook 2009

by Mr Erik Nielsen, Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs

at the Royal Danish Embassy at 6 pm followed by discussion and refreshments

Erik Nielsen will be picking up from his presentation last year on the BRIC dream and the clear premise that globalization was here to stay, and look at how the crisis initiated in the first place.

Is Europe an innocent bystander? And will Europe be as hard hit as the US and the UK?

Furthermore, Erik Nielsen will look into the response from the policy makers and whether they have done enough and lastly, have a look into the future setting out who are the likely winners and losers.
