BIOGRAPHY
In an increasingly uncertain global environment, marked by geopolitical tensions and shifting economic dynamics, understanding the trajectory of the global and regional economy is more critical than ever.
This timely session brings together leading policymakers and global economic thought leaders, including Li Bo, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, and Duvvuri Subbarao, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, to explore the evolving global and regional economic outlook.
Against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and their far-reaching implications, the discussion will examine the economic reverberations across Southeast Asia and the wider global landscape. Speakers will also address key themes such as regional economic cooperation, policy responses, and emerging pressure points shaping today’s economic environment.
The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, providing participants with the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and gain deeper insights into the challenges and opportunities ahead.
