Confronting the Federal Reserve’s Tightening Path
Tuesday, September 20 | 10:00 – 11:00 am HKT/SGT

The Fed has continued on its aggressive tightening path despite signs of the U.S. economy slowing. Meanwhile in China, the government’s Covid-zero stance and a deepening property slump threaten to drag the rebound in 2H. Inflation is set to peak over the summer, but a slow descent will see the global CPI end the year at elevated levels. Asian central banks have pivoted to tightening on inflation concerns, but will face greater growth headwinds in 2H.

Tuesday, September 20 | 10:00 am – 5:00 pm IST

Cloudy with a Chance of Default: Credit & Climate Risk Examined
Financial and non-financial firms alike are facing mounting risks, from geopolitical turmoil to the ongoing effects of COVID-19. Both have contributed to increased market volatility, high inflation and rising interest rates. Meanwhile, the physical impacts of climate risk — such as rising temperatures and increased weather volatility — are placing further pressure on firms.

A proactive approach is required for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing credit and climate risk. Join us as we share market insights and discuss the latest tools to help you address risk and support your firm in facing current and future challenges.
