The economy and COVID: where are we and where are we headed? Presented by Dr Matthew Peter.

Successful development of COVID-19 vaccines have improved the medium-term outlook for Australia’s growth. Vaccination programs are currently underway in several countries. As these are administered, health-related restrictions can be eased, and many types of activity can return to something close to their pre-pandemic trends.

Coraggio is delighted to extend a complimentary invitation to you to join us to hear first-hand how we can sustainably expand and future-proof your business, followed by an upfront and personal keynote speaker session with QIC’s Chief Economist, Dr Matthew Peter.

Opened by our CEO, Richard Skarzynski, who will discuss how being a part of a Coraggio peer-to-peer Advisory Board provides a sustainable solution to navigate your business effectively throughout 2021 and beyond.

Followed by Dr Matthew Peter who will provide insights regarding:

  • The vaccination roll out, along with fiscal and monetary stimulus pumping the economy, a buoyant mood is enveloping investors, businesses and households
  • The Australian dollar now at a three-year high, interest rates are at all-time lows and the housing market is poised to take off
  • If we expect a quick return to pre-COVID norms, or are we likely to be disappointed?
  • The economic recovery and financial market outlook this year and the next.
