In this morning’s opening session, How Economic Pressures Shape the Dynamic Society, Dr Jim Walker (Founder and Managing Director of Asianomics) gave us a fascinating look at the potential future economic landscape in Asia Pacific.
We have been feeling a renewed confidence in Asia with the return to business growth in many markets. However, the picture painted by Jim was not quite as rosy as you might expect.
He suggested that the US economy could dip within the next six months. He was also quite downbeat on the forecast for China. On the upside, he was quite bullish in his outlook for South East Asia and had confidence in some of the fundamentals in India.
It will be very interesting to see how this conversation develops over the next two days.
