Webcast: The Impact of COVID-19 on Asia's Growth and Supply Chains: A View from the World Bank

ASIA SOCIETY POLICY INSTITUTE, June 30, 2020 — Recently released World Bank forecasts predict that 2020 will be a dismal year for worldwide growth, with the global economy shrinking 5.2 percent. As many experts expect that Asia will emerge from the pandemic first, what might that mean for the region's potential economic expansion? Then, looking beyond the initial recovery, what are the chances that businesses might permanently shift their supply chains as a result of the pandemic, and what impact would that have on Asia's growth? Aaditya Mattoo, the World Bank's Chief Economist for East Asia and the Pacific, will be joined by ASPI Vice President Wendy Cutler to discuss the global economic ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular eye on the Asia-Pacific region and what its economic future might look like.

Video: The Future of Agriculture — What is Asia Doing to Avoid a Potential Crisis?

ASIA SOCIETY SWITZERLAND, June 18, 2020 — Is Asia equipped to feed its growing population? By 2050, we expect up to 10 billion people to live on our planet, with more than half in Asia. This will require a 70 percent increase in today's food production. At the same time, the agricultural sector is affected by climate change effects and limited availability of arable land and fresh water. How can the gap be closed? A keynote presentation by AgFoodTech's Dr. Jaleh Daie.
