Singapore: In-person event
Asia’s winners and losers in Trump’s second term
Thursday 27th February
Guoco Midtown Network Hub, 126 Beach Rd, Singapore 189772
9:30am | 12:00pm
Donald Trump’s return as US president sets the stage for what could be a tumultuous few years for Asian economies and financial markets. Which Asian economies will hold up best this year if Trump follows through on his tariff threats? Will China’s leadership deliver on hopes for stimulus? How should investors be weighing heightened geopolitical risks?
We’re delighted to invite you to join our economist team on Thursday 27th February for this exclusive, in-person roundtable to discuss these key developments and how you should factor them into your decision-making. Join the discussion to get your macro and markets questions answered, including:
- China’s economy didn’t suffer much damage during Trump’s first trade war. What are the chances it beats expectations this time?
- Southeast Asia has benefitted from friendshoring. Can that continue with a more isolationist president in the White House?
- Where are the biggest opportunities in financial markets?
