China & Asia Roundtable – Navigating through a turbulent world

The event will be hosted by Louis Kuijs, Head of Asia Economics. Registration and coffee will be at 3:45pm. The roundtable will start at 4pm, followed by a drinks reception.

DISCUSSION POINTS

China and the rest of Asia are challenged by the continued weakness of global trade and the ongoing US-China trade war. While globally central banks are cutting interest rates, China’s restrained response so far to the slowdown is leading to questions and anxiety.

Louis Kuijs will be addressing the following topics:

• How is the US-China conflict likely to evolve and what will be the short and long-term impact ?
• How low will China allow growth to be in 2020?
• Are there any beneficiaries from the US-China spat in Asia and how are more domestic demand-driven Asian economies holding up?
• How is Asian macro policy likely to respond?
• Medium-term wise, how are Asian economies positioned for further sustained growth?
