Asia Growth Exchange #8: Balancing Regional Operations

On February 24th, 30 business leaders joined us for a peer-to-peer roundtable to explore the challenges of balancing operations between headquarters and Asia, and between countries within Asia. The discussion was led by the APAC CIO of a leading chemical manufacturer, the strategy director of an instrumentation OEM, and Mark Greeven, Dean of China for IMD Business School.

The Asia market landscape is increasingly volatile. Even with the pandemic waning, the trade war between China and the US and military conflict in Europe keep tensions high. Yet Asia remains the world's growth engine. The IMF forecasts that the region will drive more than 60% of global GDP growth through 2025. For many international companies, realizing growth means striking a balance between de-risking and focusing investment in high-growth regions.
