  • Singapore pledged it would not be left behind as developed economies reopen, intending to shift away from strict containment
  • China will allow all couples to have a third child in order to slow the nation's declining birthrate. It won't be enough to head off an inevitable demographic drag on the economy, says Eric Zhu

  • India's economy expanded faster than expected last quarter before a resurgent coronavirus pandemic unleashed a new wave of challenges

  • Germany's inflation rate rose to the highest level since October 2018 as an ECB study found central banks can better control expectations if they use a range for price growth rather than a precise goal
  • Canada's economic recovery likely forged ahead in the first quarter, bringing total output to the cusp of its pre-pandemic level
