1. Global Economic Outlook 2017 Trends , Shocks, and Change: Forces Behind Slow Global Growth and the Future Growth Potential for Asia Economies Tuesday, December 6, 2016 | 9:00 am – 10:30 am Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur The global economy has now entered its 6th year of stagnation, and the growth outlook for 2017 shows a continuation of this trend. While many Asia-Pacific economies will be directly affected by weakening global demand, the greater challenges are of a domestic and more medium-term nature, and in particular how to find a sustainable growth path after the catch-up era of the 1990s and early 2000s. Join this briefing for findings and analysis from the Global Economic Outlook 2017 report, and a discussion with The Conference Board’s Chief Economist, Bart van Ark, on the implications for business leaders in Asia-Pacific. Key learning points will include:     What is the outlook for global economies in 2017 and beyond? What are the major risk factors emerging from the global economy and the changing growth dynamics in Asia? How will Asia economies’ domestic growth potential evolve in the medium term, under the influence of rising talent shortages and slowing productivity? How can innovation and digital transformation make a difference, and what does it take from the perspective of policy and business strategy? Connect with our expert and hear from your peers on how they are viewing and managing the challenges of the latest growth dynamics. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with peers before and after the session.
