Topical Tuesdays – Coronavirus and the Future of the World Economy – David Lubin, Citi

David Lubin (OP 1976-81) is Head of Emerging Markets Economics at Citi, an American bank, where he leads a team of some 30 economists in a dozen locations globally. He presents the fourth talk in our Topical Tuesdays series, examining the impact that Coronavirus will have on the future of the world economy, a question currently being posed by politicians and economists alike.

David is an Associate Fellow of Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs. He has an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University; and a postgraduate degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

His book, Dance of the Trillions: Developing Countries and Global Finance (Brookings Press) examines what makes money flow from high-income countries to lower-income ones; what makes it flow out again; and how developing countries have sought protection against the volatility of international capital flows. The Financial Times selected it as one of the best economics books of 2018.
