CBI's Chief Economist Rain Newton-Smith joins our latest podcast to share some of the macroeconomic trends she has been monitoring during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. In this episode, Rain and Neil:
• explores the key challenges we face now and the extent to which government schemes addresses these challenges,
• examines the main differences between the current recession (led by a health crisis) and The Great Recession (originated in the financial system)
• takes stock of some of the fundamental economic changes we'll see post-crisis including long-term trends such as the future of working (from home), and the environmental impact of our new normal.
