Drop-In: The Asian Century? Long-Run Prospects for Asia

Speakers:

Asia is expected to account for a rising share of global output over the next few decades. But how secure is that outlook?

In this special online briefing, on Wednesday 25th February at 08:00 GMT/16:00 SGT, Senior Asia Economist Gareth Leather will lead a discussion all about the publication of our latest Long-Run Outlook report and what it means for Asia’s role in the world economy. During this 20-minute session, the team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:

  • China’s challenge of overtaking the United States. Worsening demographics, geopolitical tensions and a property slowdown cloud the outlook.
  • India’s growth potential. A young population and growing digital sector are major strengths, but sustained rapid growth will depend on job creation, infrastructure and steady reform.
  • South East Asia’s strongest growth prospects. Vietnam and the region are benefiting from supply-chain shifts and favourable demographics.
  • AI and ageing Tiger economies. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan face shrinking workforces and rely on artificial intelligence to lift productivity.
