Summary
APAC is expected to remain one of the fastest growing regions of the world over the decade ahead. That said, the Chinese growth engine is slowing, interest rates are “higher for longer”, residual cost challenges persist, and geopolitical uncertainty is coloring prospects. In addition, nearly half the world’s adults will go to the ballot box in 2024, including in India and Indonesia. Many uncertainties will prevail.
Join us on 18 April as we bring together market thought leaders for an afternoon of discussions that focus on the opportunities and risks facing APAC.
