Breakfast available at 8:30AM

Discussion begins at 9:00AM

Join us for the next Asia Executive Briefing with Moody’s Atsi Sheth, Moody's Investor Service's Managing Director and Global Head of Credit Strategy and Research. At the forefront of understanding and measuring risks and vulnerabilities of global economies, Atsi’s insights help shape policy responses and debates around the world. Geopolitical tensions and wars, the aftermath of the global pandemic, breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence and climate change are creating powerful headwinds for the global economy. Governments and corporations are prioritizing security and resilience over the globally-distributed value chains. Political and societal divisions have intensified, as citizens and communities seek to preserve their identifies, incomes and access to vital local services. 

Is the era of globalization truly coming to an end? What risks are arising from a less connected global economy? How are the major Asian economies responding to new realities of export controls, sovereign supply chains and protectionist policies? Join us for a wide-ranging discussion on major risks to Asia’s and global prosperity in 2024.
