Asia’s developed economies have been growing faster than expected, but headwinds abound. While robust growth in the U.S. and a boom in artificial intelligence have driven export growth, external demand is now slowing on delayed monetary easing, financial market volatility, and stuttering chip sales. The November U.S. election and China’s wobbly economy add risk to the outlook. Inflation and subdued wage gains have kept consumers and businesses in developed Asia reluctant to spend. Now that inflation is cooling and central banks are gearing up for rate cuts, the question is whether domestic demand can take up the slack left by slowing export demand.


Join us as we discuss the economic outlook for Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Topics:

  • Headwinds and tailwinds for Asia’s developed economies.
  • The implications for developed Asia from November’s U.S. election and China’s lacklustre recovery.
  • How central banks will navigate shifting inflation and foreign exchange dynamics.
  • The outlook for portfolio flows and exchange rates amid narrowing interest rate differentials with the U.S.
  • Risks to the outlook from policy missteps, trade frictions, and structural changes in the world economy.

The webinar will be conducted in English.
