China's Emergence from COVID and Regional Economic Impacts

Six months into China's reopening after Covid-19, what is the state of its economic recovery? Consumption has picked up in some sectors but the property market is still in the doldrums, and following the selection of a new economic team at the National People's Congress, investors await greater clarity on the government's approach to business. Meanwhile, structural issues - from the country's fast-ageing demographics to its heavy dependence on capital investment - require attention, and geopolitics has complicated life for foreign investors. The outlook for China is crucial to the rest of Asia and beyond. Join our webinar with three leading experts for an up-to-minute take on the state of China's economy and where it goes.
