This public panel follows the inaugural Roundtable on Asia in the World Economy, hosted by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and the Peterson Institute of International Economics. This high-level forum brings together forty academic experts, policy-makers and business leaders from Asia and the West.
Panellists will debate major global economic issues that concern Asia: the macroeconomic outlook at a time of global growth slowdown; trade and investment policies in a climate of anaemic trade growth and mega-regional trade deals; regional economic integration, not least in ASEAN; structural reforms; the digital economy; and Asia in global economic governance. Members of the panel will bring their mix of academic, think-tank, policy and business experience to take stock of current developments as well as identify broad trends in Asian economic policies, institutions and governance.
