Growth Track

The world's economies are being challenged by geopolitical uncertainties, rising interest rates and the highest inflation in a generation — is survival the new growth? Yet with Asia set to outpace global growth, investors are still ready to take on risk and access new opportunities in the region across multiple asset classes. In the third episode of SGX Growth Track, Kimberley Stafford, Managing Director and Head of Product Strategy at PIMCO, joins SGX Group's Head of Global Sales and Origination Pol De Win to discuss ways to navigate the volatility and succeed.

Europe’s security crisis has sharpened concerns of a reset in the global order, with finance and capital increasingly being weaponised. Is the world no longer flat, with an increasingly uneven playing field for developed and emerging economies, and is sustainability off the international agenda? In the second episode of Growth Track, major Japanese political figure Taro Kono joins SGX Group’s Head of Equities Michael Syn to discuss how global market participants are focusing more than ever on the ‘C’s – China, carbon, crypto and cloud – and whether Asia could face a reconfiguration of relations.

Asia is leading the global recovery even as investors face challenges over rising inflation, trade tensions and climate change. While financial marketplaces enable participants to price risk, how has trust evolved through COVID-19 and what are some lessons for international business leaders? In the first episode of Growth Track, SGX Chairman Kwa Chong Seng and Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow of the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore, share their thoughts on Asia's economic resurgence as well as Singapore's role on that journey.
