SUMMARY:Economic Outlook 2023: Fading Downsides
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis \nThe key headwinds of 2022\, sharply rising inflation and interest rates\, currency market volatility\, China’s pandemic struggles\, as well as energy and food security concerns\, have begun to fade. Trade is on the weak side\, tech sector is shedding some jobs\, and rates may not be coming down\, but the global economy is emerging from the punches of 2022 on a decent footing. US and Europe no longer looked destined for recession and China’s pro-growth shift is a major source of support for global demand. Lingering risks include the war in Ukraine\, China-US rivalry\, financial market volatility\, and re-emergence of inflation in late 2023 as demand remains resilient. \nAt the same time\, it is important to note that economies in the Asia Pacific\, many of which rely heavily on imported goods\, are vulnerable to the consequences of supply chain disruption for production and consumption. Promoting flexible and resilient supply chains will be key to weathering the storm. \nJoin us for our annual Economic Outlook for insightful presentations and panel discussions with notable industry leaders. \n  \nProgramme \n3.45 pm Registration Opens\n4.20 pm Welcome Remarks by Mr Justin Ong\, Senior Sales & Leasing Manager\, Sales & Leasing Group\, Far East Organization\n4.25 pm Opening Remarks by Mr Kelvin Brace\, Regional Head\, Product Sales\, Transaction Banking at DBS Bank\n4.30 pm 2023 Economic Outlook by Dr Taimur Baig\, Managing Director and Chief Economist at DBS Bank\n4.50 pm Presentation on Supply Chain Disruptions by Mr Sudhan Sundaram\, Supply Chain Practice Lead at Accenture\n5.00 pm Q&A moderated by Mr Carl van der Elst\, Co-Chair of the EuroCham Financial Services Committee\n5.05 pm Questions from the audience\n5.25 pm Closing Remarks by EuroCham\n5.30 pm Networking Session \nLight refreshments will be served.  \nThe organisers reserve the right to change the programme content without giving prior notification or any reasons thereof. \n  \n\n  \nSpeakers \n  \nDr Taimur Baig\nManaging Director and Chief Economist\nDBS Bank \nTaimur Baig\, Ph.D.\, heads economics as well as macro strategy for interest rate\, credit\, currency\, and equities at DBS Group Research.
