Global economy is not out of the woods yet: QNB Analysis

The Peninsula
Doha: The global economy is in the middle of what could be one of the most dramatic economic recoveries since World War II. After the COVID-19 shock produced the sharpest and deepest slowdown on record in the second quarter of 2020, aggressive policy stimulus and the temporary containment of the pandemic led to a significant rebound last quarter. While the global economy is not out of the woods yet, a full-blown “second wave” of severe epidemics could create a “double dip recession”. The recovery has so far been promising, with several countries and sectors showcasing remarkable economic strength.

But which sectors are leading the recovery and what does that tell us about broader macro trends? The answer for this question is now more important than ever. COVID-19 impacted several sectors, such as the aviation, healthcare, transport, tourism and brick and mortar retail industries. The pandemic also led to modifications in consumer behaviour. Both will drive market changes with long lasting effects on economic activity, resulting in leaders and laggards.

This analysis delves into equity markets to unpack the new leaders in their future economic expansion. So far, four big themes come to the forefront.

First, “growth” is outperforming “value” when it comes to investors’ preferences. In other words, companies in sectors that are growing fast continue to be favoured against companies in more stable sectors.

Weak long-term growth in advanced economies and low policy rates put a special focus on companies with high potential for future earnings and sales growth. This tends to favour the “new economy” of technology versus the “old economy” of traditional capital intensive industries. In terms of geographies, this favours the dynamic, tech-heavy US and Chinese indices over other markets when companies are listed.

Second, initiatives that support a low-carbon economy are becoming a major market trend. This includes enterprises that promote technologies to “de-carbonise” power, mobility, agriculture and industry. A sharper than expected recovery in demand for solar energy products and investor optimism about positive regulatory changes for the sector triggered a clean energy wave in equity markets.

Third, COVID-19 strengthened the demand for digitalisation of services and businesses. With lockdowns and social distancing measures implemented globally, shifts from in-person sales to e-commerce and from cash to digital payments were expedited everywhere.

The digital transformation of business and workflow automation also gained ground, especially as work-from-home and cost reduction became paramount. Such trends also led to a rise in the demand for electronic products, boosting the semiconductor industry.

Fourth, the pandemic accelerated the demand for and investments into the healthcare industry and life sciences in general, propping up the pharma industry, bio-tech and a plethora of other medical related companies.

This goes beyond the global race for a successful vaccine and the sudden increase in demand for personal protective equipment, including the application of robotics in surgery, the digitalisation of health care and the use of artificial intelligence in medicine.

All in all, COVID-19 seems to have acted as an accelerant to trends that were already taking place globally. But the magnitude of the shock, and its effects on the behaviour of individuals and firms, is likely to have contributed to the break down of deeply seated resistances to technological change.

ख़फ़ा होना ज़रा सी बात पर तलवार हो जाना
मगर फिर ख़ुद-ब-ख़ुद वो आप का गुलनार हो जाना
خفا ہونا ذرا سی بات پر تلوار ہو جانا
مگر پھر خود بہ خود وہ آپ کا گلنار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
किसी दिन मेरी रुस्वाई का ये कारन न बन जाए
तुम्हारा शहर से जाना मिरा बीमार हो जाना
کسی دن میری رسوائی کا یہ کارن نہ بن جائے
تمہارا شہر سے جانا مرا بیمار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
वो अपना जिस्म सारा सौंप देना मेरी आँखों को
मिरी पढ़ने की कोशिश आप का अख़बार हो जाना
وہ اپنا جسم سارا سونپ دینا میری آنکھوں کو
مری پڑھنے کی کوشش آپ کا اخبار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
कभी जब आँधियाँ चलती हैं हम को याद आता है
हवा का तेज़ चलना आप का दीवार हो जाना
کبھی جب آندھیاں چلتی ہیں ہم کو یاد آتا ہے
ہوا کا تیز چلنا آپ کا دیوار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
बहुत दुश्वार है मेरे लिए उस का तसव्वुर भी
बहुत आसान है उस के लिए दुश्वार हो जाना
بہت دشوار ہے میرے لیے اس کا تصور بھی
بہت آسان ہے اس کے لیے دشوار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
किसी की याद आती है तो ये भी याद आता है
कहीं चलने की ज़िद करना मिरा तय्यार हो जाना
کسی کی یاد آتی ہے تو یہ بھی یاد آتا ہے
کہیں چلنے کی ضد کرنا مرا تیار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
कहानी का ये हिस्सा अब भी कोई ख़्वाब लगता है
तिरा सर पर बिठा लेना मिरा दस्तार हो जाना
کہانی کا یہ حصہ اب بھی کوئی خواب لگتا ہے
ترا سر پر بٹھا لینا مرا دستار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
मोहब्बत इक न इक दिन ये हुनर तुम को सिखा देगी
बग़ावत पर उतरना और ख़ुद-मुख़्तार हो जाना
محبت اک نہ اک دن یہ ہنر تم کو سکھا دے گی
بغاوت پر اترنا اور خود مختار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
नज़र नीची किए उस का गुज़रना पास से मेरे
ज़रा सी देर रुकना फिर सबा-रफ़्तार हो जाना
نظر نیچی کیے اس کا گزرنا پاس سے میرے
ذرا سی دیر رکنا پھر صبا رفتار ہو جانا
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
मुनव्वर राना
منور رانا

میرا تو فرض ہے عبادت کا
اور فقط شوق ہے یہ مدحت کا
مجھ کو تُو جاں سے بھی پیارا ہے
تُو ثمر ہے مری ریاضت کا
پاس کچھ بھی نہیں عمل میرے
آسرا ہے فقط شفاعت کا
کہہ دیا تھا بلی جو روز ازل
سلسلہ چل پڑا محبت کا
چور پکڑا گیا کسی سے نہ
یہ معمہ ہے اک عدالت کا
گر ملی ہے سزا یہ مجھ کو تو
کیا فسانہ ہے تیری رحمت کا؟
تُو تو امواج جانتی ہی نہیں
کیا مزا ہے تری حقیقت کا
