Mid-Year Economic Outlook

The Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong​ is delighted to present its upcoming event, the 'Mid-Year Economic Outlook', scheduled for September 13th, 2023. This event is organized in close collaboration with the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Singapore​, who will host their own outlook on September 19th, 2023.

Building upon the success of our previous outlook in January, this discussion will center around navigating recent geopolitical frictions, key megatrends such as the rise of generative AI, the impact of aging demographics and low-carbon transition, as well as central bank policies in response to inflationary pressures and supply constraints. Additionally, we will explore investment strategies in the context of China's economic distress, the potential shift away from US dollar dominance, the resurgence of bonds, and the significance of the Big Seven tech stocks.
