Panel will take place on June 28, 2021 and the topic will be: "The Corona Effect: Structural Shifts and International Trade"<https://www.suerf.org/oenb-wko> The COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020 has triggered an enormous uncertainty shock in the global economic world, more severe than that of previous epidemics or the financial crisis in 2009. Lockdowns, supply shortages of important primary products and raw materials, the increase in transport costs etc. have put a massive strain on the global economy as well as companies and have resulted in negative economic effects. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Due to government support and vaccination programmes, a strong economic recovery is on the horizon from the second half of 2021 onwards. The workshop presents findings from the anniversary edition of “Schwerpunkt Außenwirtschaft”: · First, it briefly addresses the current framework conditions for global trade as well as Austria’s foreign trade relations. · Second, the event focuses on the implications of COVID-19 on global trade and the policy response to this pandemic. The question of how to shape economic recovery after the COVID-crisis is also answered. 14:00 Opening and Introduction by Ernest Gnan (OeNB) Current Developments in the Economy and in Foreign Trade Julia Wörz (OeNB): Current development of world trade Barbara Tasch-Ronner (WKÖ): Recent developments in EU trade policy Klaus Vondra (OeNB): Austrian economic development, price competitiveness and overview of foreign trade Leonhard Pertl (WKÖ): Austria‘s foreign trade in goods – recent developments Particia Walter (OeNB): Austria’s international trade in services Florian Koller (WKÖ): Austrian foreign direct investment – recent developments 14:20 Panel: The Corona Effect: Structural Shifts and International Trade Moderation: Christoph Schneider (WKÖ) COVID and Global Trade Heli Simola (BOFIT): The impact of COVID-19 on global value chains Richard Bolwijn (UNCTAD): Structural Shifts of Investment in Global Value Chains Gabriel Felbermayr (Institut für Weltwirtschaft Kiel): COVID-19 and the Resilience of Global Value Chains Robert Stehrer (wiiw): Trade in COVID-19-related products in Austria and the EU27 during the pandemic Martin Kaufman (IMF): Impact of COVID-19 on EMDEs External Sectors: Transitory vs. ‘Scarring’ Effects Alonso Alfaro-Urena (Central Bank of Costa Rica): Pandemics as a potential threat to the wide-ranging gains from FDI Simon J.
