MNI POLITICAL RISK ANALYSIS – Week Ahead Feb 22-28

All timings subject to change.

Monday 22 February:

  • United States: House Budget Committee set to consider the administration's USD1.9trn COVID-19 relief package unveiled on 18 February. Online meeting starts at 1300ET (1800GMT, 1900CET) and can be viewed on the committee's website. Committee set to approve the bill to send it to a full floor vote on Friday 26 February.
  • European Union: Foreign Affairs Council meeting of member state foreign ministers. High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Joesp Borrell remains under pressure following his much-criticised trip to Moscow earlier in February. Newly confirmed US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is due to attend to discuss US-EU relations under the Biden administration. Starts at 0830CET (0230ET, 0730GMT) with Blinken joining in the afternoon.
  • United Kingdom: Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce the roadmap for the unwinding of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in England. The reopening of schools on 8 March is already well known, but it remains unclear when non-essential retail and hospitality venues will be allowed to reopen. Johnson expected to deliver the announcement in the House of Commons around 1530GMT.
  • United Nations:UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) holds its 46th regular session in Geneva, Switzerland – continues to 23 Feb. The major development surrounding the session is the re-engagement of the US. President Trump pulled the US from the UNHRC in 2018, citing lack of reform and the continued membership of nations accused of serial breaches of human rights. Biden administration has stated it wants to 're-engage immediately and robustly' with the council, especially in challenging the UNHRC's sustained criticism of Israel and the whitewashing of alleged human rights abuses in UNHRC member states such as Russia, Eritrea, Cuba, and Venezuela.
  • United States:Senate Judiciary Committee to begin two-day confirmation hearing for the administration's nominee for attorney general, former Chief Judge of the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Merrick Garland. In 2016, Garland was then-President Barack Obama's nominee to fill the associate justice spot on the US Supreme Court bench left vacant following the death of Antonin Scalia. Hearing starts at 0930ET (1430GMT, 1530CET).
