WOOD Flash – Frontier Investor Days Conference: feedback and highlights

On 3-4 September, we hosted our 2020 Frontier Investor Days Conference, with 44 companies from Romania, Kazakhstan and the rest of the Frontier markets in our region participating. Here, we highlight the key takeaways from our meetings with the corporates, as well as some country-level highlights for Romania and Kazakhstan. The outlook is improving overall, even for some of the worst-hit industries, such as restaurants and airports, but the main unknown in every forward-looking conversation is the path of the pandemic.
