Asia's Growing Influence in the Global Arena (Invite only)

-

Showing resilience in the face of the post-pandemic economic slowdown, Asia is poised to take advantage of the opportunities presented by global market disruptions. While FDI inflows into the region are still not quite at pre-pandemic levels, healthy growth rates are creating further business and investment opportunities, and the region is well-positioned to address global challenges in the areas of manufacturing, food production, consumer markets, and sustainability efforts. In short, Asia will remain a major player in the global economy in the decade ahead. Challenges remain, however: the economic impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, the lingering effects of the pandemic, the rising costs of business, and the lack of infrastructure in the region. What does Asia’s future look like? What opportunities are available to capitalize on regional and global growth?
