Join us as we unpack the key forces shaping South Asia’s medium-term outlook. Drawing on current geopolitical, trade, and financial shifts, we’ll explore how these global dynamics are translating into domestic developments across the region.
A central question we’ll examine: Is South Asia emerging as a cohesive economic region, or is there more to go for these economic stories to align? The session will also feature a panel discussion with Nitesh Jain (CareEdge Global) and Sumedha Das Gupta (Economist Intelligence: EIU), offering diverse perspectives on where the South Asian story could lead in the years ahead.
