Welcome to this Virtual Roundtable discussion featuring Robert Bergqvist, Chief Economist of SEB Group, on the macroeconomic outlook for Sweden and the United Kingdom post-Brexit and in the midst of the global pandemic.

Robert Bergqvist was appointed Chief Economist at SEB in 2007 and is responsible for managing the bank’s wider economic analysis research team. Having joined SEB in July 1997, Robert previously directed SEB’s Trading Strategy Analytical Unit where he was responsible for market and trading oriented currency, interest, and credit analysis.

Prior to SEB, Robert worked at the Swedish Central Bank´s Monetary & Exchange Rate Policy Department, where he was head of the analysis division. Robert spent nine years, from 1988 to 1997, at Sveriges Riksbank, managing monetary and exchange rate policy decisions, international central banks cooperation, and balance of payments analysis.

Robert’s professional responsibilities have led to appointments on several international central bank working committees, most notably the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
