The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce is organizing an exclusive webinar on “China: Charting a Course through Turbulent Times”. The webinar will take place on 25 June at 10 AM CEST.
The turbulence of the current geopolitical and geo-economic landscape presents both risks and opportunities for China’s economic outlook. In recent years, resilient exports have helped smooth China’s economic growth amid a persistent real estate correction and sluggish demand at home.
Going forward, China’s exports could benefit from a surge in demand for energy security. However, China also faces increasingly tense trade relationships, mounting risks of supply chain disruptions, rising producer prices, and still weak internal demand. This webinar will discuss these economic challenges and how China is expected to navigate them going forward.
The programme is as follows:
10:00 – 10:05 Introduction by Ms Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce
