Panel Discussion
Possibilities for Regional Cooperation in Asian Business
The world economy has undergone major structural changes over the past 15 years and is facing serious geopolitical challenges.
The biggest structural change is the relative decline of developed economies such as the United States and Japan, and the rapid rise of emerging economies such as China and India.
As the world economy becomes more multipolar, intensifying competition between the U.S. and China, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the increasingly tense situation in the Middle East are causing supply chain disruptions and fragmentation of the global economy. In this panel discussion, we will discuss how to view the global economy faced with these structural changes and geopolitical issues, how Japan should respond to the challenges of declining birthrate, aging population, and low economic growth, and how to promote regional cooperation in Northeast Asia, and interregional cooperation in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.
