Summary
Join our panel of thought leaders to discuss the impact of the trade tariffs on the economy and which sectors they are impacting the most in Asia. They will take a deep dive into the economic outlook and what the data is showing us on how businesses can adjust based on these trends.
Key Highlights:
- Following the U.S. trade tariffs and actions by other economies, what is the outlook for growth, inflation, currencies, interest rates and economies’ supply chain involvement in Asia-Pacific?
- How will supply chains adjust, with a focus on tactics such as pricing and cost negotiations through to long term investments in reshoring and technology.
