Asia’s Economic Outlook: Still Resilient? — A Conversation with HKUST Business School


Asia’s Economic Outlook: Still Resilient? — A Conversation with HKUST Business School


The global economy is entering a perilous new phase as turmoil in the financial system heaps even more pressure on a world already buffeted by high inflation, rising interest rates and war in Ukraine. How much impact would the global banking turmoil have on Asia’s economic outlook? The world is counting on China’s economic recovery, but just how strong would its rebound be? Will the U.S.-China relationship continue to unravel, and how would the U.S.’s strict export control measures affect China and other nations in the region? At this WSJ Future Leaders Webinar, join experts at HKUST and The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) for a timely conversation.
