Asia is not only the world’s fastest growing region, but it is also arguably the one that is transforming most rapidly. By deepening their commercial ties and investing more in technology and education, Asia’s emerging nations are carving out a leading role on the global stage and tilting the world’s centre of economic gravity decisively Eastward. And it’s not just China in the limelight.

What we’ll cover:
•   The growth prospects of Asia as the world’s fastest-expanding region in a post-Covid world

•   The drivers for growth across the region and country-specific dynamics and patterns that drive                 economic development and growth across individual nations

•   Investment Opportunities in Emerging Asia – what markets like China, India, Vietnam, Korea and             Taiwan hold in store to revolutionise the green economy, drive technological development, reinvent         corporate structures and utilise consumption patterns to generate growth and investor returns

•   Factors impacting the investment environment – from GDP growth to inflation and trading pacts

•   The impact on portfolio construction – the opportunities and pitfalls for retail, wholesale and                     institutional investors

Our 8th Secular Outlook, explores the trends we believe will have the greatest impact on financial markets over the next five years. Whatever their vantage point, investors will find there is no escaping the pandemic’s effects. For the most part, the health crisis will reinforce or accelerate trends that were already unfolding in both financial markets and the economy.
