Risky Business: Understanding Asia's Geopolitical and Societal Uncertainties

As investors show renewed interest in Asia, old concerns about political and economic risks are resurfacing. Although large parts of the region are under dynamic new management, old animosities appear to threaten Asia's rise. Exactly what are the inherent risks in Asia, and what do they mean for investors? This panel will provide expert insights into the economic and political reforms by the military governments in Thailand and Myanmar, the trials faced by Indonesia's new president, and an assessment of Abenomics in Japan and Xi Jinping's politically conservative, but economically liberal, approach to governing China.

Moderator: Gwen Robinson
Speakers: Brian Baker, Curtis S. Chin, Seki Obata, Walter Wang
