Lunch & Learn: Economic Outlook

The Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong is pleased to invite you to the event "Lunch & Learn: Economic Outlook".

2022 was an 'annus horribilis' with a war in Europe, surging commodity prices, a hyper elevated inflation rate, tight monetary policies with sharply higher interest rates, slowing economies, a never ending covid policy in China leading to a sharply slowing economy and continued frictions in the US China trade war. All of this led to a sharp contraction in financial markets.

What is the outlook in 2023 for the global economy, for Switzerland and for China? What are the major concerns for our members in Hong Kong?

We will cover all the topics that are important for our members and for their businesses:

• The likelihood of a US recession, its timing and severity
• The outlook for European and Chinese economic growth
• Is it a good time to shift into bonds?
• Are equity markets priced for a recession?
• What is the outlook for the US dollars, Euro and Swiss Franc?
• Outlook for Commodities, oil and gold
• The impact of rising rates on real estate prices in Hong Kong and Switzerland
• Will 2023 continue to see pronounced geopolitical tensions

If you would like to learn about the above topics and even more, join our "Lunch & Learn"!

The event will be held at the China Club, 15/F, The Library, Old Bank of China Building, Bank Street, Central on the 10th of January 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
