Event Details

As the global economic and political landscape undergoes rapid shifts, China faces both challenges and opportunities on its path forward. Transformative developments—ranging from shifting geopolitical dynamics to domestic initiatives such as the 10 trillion RMB debt-swap program—have brought China's macroeconomic strategy into sharp focus. The evolving international environment and policy uncertainties add complexity to the decisions shaping the nation's economic future.


At this critical juncture, it is essential to evaluate China's macroeconomic trajectory, examine its strategic responses to global shifts, and identify the domestic growth drivers that will define the coming years.


Each January, we invite a distinguished thought leader to deliver an in-depth analysis of China's economy. This year, we are privileged to host Professor LIU Qiao, Dean and Professor of Finance at the Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, for a comprehensive discussion. Professor Liu will share his expert insights into recent domestic and global developments, their influence on China's economic policies, and potential pathways for the nation's economic future.

Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and by invitation only. If you are not an existing member of The Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please contact us.
