Phase 1 Deal Doesn't Really Matter?

Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics & Strategy, Mizuho Bank

Phase 1 Deal Doesn't Really Matter?

As the year comes to an end, we take a look the best performing currencies in the Emerging Markets, as well as a 'duck' theme that Vishnu had in his latest report. Looking forward, Vishnu expects all economies in Asia but China to show a pick-up in growth in 2020 and 2021. What’s going to hold back the Chinese economy next year? Other than that, we also get into regional risk factors going forward and how this might affect Asian central banking and policy.

Presented by: Roshan Kanesan, Wong Shou Ning
