George Galliers, head of European automotive research at Goldman Sachs, will be part of an Automotive News Europe Congress panel, The Road Ahead for Europe. It will be available via webcast today at 14:00 CEST.
Analysts such as Galliers normally look to the past for reference points to extrapolate future performance.
That is not possible with the coronavirus crisis, which is unprecedented in its scope and severity. Instead, analysts are turning to other metrics such as consumer sentiment and even to specialties such as epidemiology to build their forecasts for recovery.
