Will Delta derail the economic recovery?

Welcome to another week of our Macro Bytes podcast. Our host Paul Diggle is joined by colleagues James McCann and Edward Glossop from the abrdn Research Institute to discuss how the Delta variant is impacting the economic recovery around the world. 

In this episode we discuss the spread of the Delta variant through the major economies and highlight how vaccine rollouts and Covid handling will drive countries on different economic paths. 

The team explores how different policy responses, political preferences and varying vaccination rates are creating a divergent recovery. Mapping a country’s vaccine penetration against its Covid-handling strategy can give a good indication of its economic recovery prospects.
