China in 2022: key themes
As China’s economy is slowing down amid a real estate downturn and its zero Covid tolerance is holding back a consumption recovery, we explore the outlook for the economy and policy next year. We discuss the key themes that we expect to characterize China’s economic developments and policy in 2022, as well as its relations with the rest of the world.
We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:
- APAC – Friday 26th November | 11:00 HKT
- EMEA – Friday 26th November | 11:00 GMT
- Americas – Friday 26th November | 16:00 EST
