Specifically, the report is concerned with the consequences of the pandemic on financial markets for the period that was interested by some lockdown measures in the first half of the year. Furthermore, the report analyses the risks connected to a potential decoupling of financial market performance and underlying economic activity; these episodes worry the general economy and the markets spread.
