Tariff war – Opportunities for businesses in Asia

Date: 28 May

Trade policy uncertainty is at a historical high, with ongoing shifts in tariff rhetoric and evolving geopolitical dynamics clouding the global outlook. Export-dependent Asian economies are particularly exposed, as businesses grapple with the ripple effects of policy volatility and weaker external demand. Yet, amidst the chaos, there remains pockets of resilience and opportunities.

In this webinar, Tan Theng Theng and Adam Samdin will take stock of Asia’s macroeconomic developments and spotlight areas of emerging strength across the region, delivering data-driven insights into where and how opportunities may still be unfolding.

This webinar is now on-demand on our new platform, ON24. If you did not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
