#BankofEnglandinterestrate# - Andrew Bailey, the governor of the Bank of England,  in a recent statement said that it’s important for policymakers to maintain negative interest rates as a possible option.

#ChinaEconomy# - China’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 2.3% in 2020. It is the only major economy that did not experience a GDP contraction as the Coronavirus pandemic took a toll on the rest of the world. A Reuters poll also showed that in 2021, the GDP of the world’s second-largest economy is expected to grow at the fastest pace in a decade at 8.4%. What is your opinion?
