London: In-person event
China, India and the rise of Asia in the global economy
Tuesday 24th September
Capital Economics London
100 Victoria Street, SW1E 5JL
Our latest forecasts see Asia’s share of global GDP rising to around 40% by 2050, up from around one-quarter at present. But how secure are the drivers of this extraordinary coming shift in the global economy? Which Asian economies will lead the charge – and which will fail to meet their potential? And how will the upcoming US election affect the Asian outlook?
We’re delighted to invite you to join members of our Asia team at our London office for this exclusive in-person roundtable on Tuesday 24th September. This hour-long session is your opportunity to hear directly from our economists, to engage in the discussion and to meet peers from your industry.
Our experts will walk you through the near to long-term risks and opportunities in the world’s most dynamic region, addressing key issues including:
- Whether China's strength in emerging technology will help it overtake the US;
- If India is doing what is needed to fulfil its economic potential;
- How megatrends from global fragmentation, the AI revolution and the green transition will affect prospects in South East Asia.
