Confronting a Global Economic Reordering
Today’s global economy is under growing strain, driven by rising geopolitical tensions, a shifting trade order, and ongoing energy and food security shocks. Yet amid this turbulence, new trade and investment corridors are emerging, with Asia increasingly shaping the future of global commerce.
Building on the momentum of our spring Annual Convening, this invitation-only gathering will convene CEOs and policymakers to discuss Asia’s evolving role in the global economy and explore strategies for resilience, adaptation, and growth in a period of profound uncertainty.
