Fee Band


Zanny worked for the IMF on Africa and Eastern Europe, before joining The Economist in London as emerging markets correspondent. She was also responsible for the US edition’s global economics coverage. Zanny analyses whether the US is likely to remain the world’s dynamo, or whether today's recovery is built on an unsustainable pile of debt. She offers up-to-the minute insight on anything from job creation to the deficit's effect on global interest rates and potential financial regulation.
