Chief economists outlook warns of dire human consequences from the fragmentation of the global economy
GENEVA — The World Economic Forum’s Community of Chief Economists expects lower economic activity, higher inflation, lower real wages and greater food insecurity globally in 2022, pointing to the devastating human consequences of the fragmentation of the global economy. Reversing previous expectations for recovery, the majority of respondents to the latest survey expect only a moderate economic outlook in the United States, China, Latin America, South Asia and Pacific, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East and North Africa in 2022. In Europe, the majority expect the economic outlook to be weak. The choices of both business and government are expected to lead to greater fragmentation in the global economy and unprecedented shifts in supply chains, creating a perfect storm of volatility and uncertainty. These patterns are expected to create further difficult trade-offs and choices for policy-makers, and – without greater coordination – shocking human costs.

Tight regulations for corporate bond market must not cause market collapse
According to the draft, private placement corporate bond issuers must meet the following conditions: profitable business results in the previous year; total outstanding debt of bonds does not exceed three times of equity; having collateral if the total outstanding debt exceeds the equity. “Many people say that the corporate bond market poses risks and needs to be tightened. However, perfecting the legal system does not mean tightening it. Instead, it is necessary to ensure that information reaches the market in an open, transparent, and accurate manner," lawyer Truong Thanh Duc, Director of Law ANVI Firm, said. According to him, it is important now to focus on perfecting the credit rating regulations. In the immediate future, it is possible to follow regulations in a trade-off way.
