Economic Outlook 2025: Bracing for a Rollercoaster Year

As Asia navigates an increasingly complex global landscape, 2025 presents both significant opportunities and profound challenges. Against a backdrop of higher tariffs, weaker global demand, and mounting policy uncertainty, the region’s economic trajectory hinges on an interplay of macroeconomic trends, shifting demographic patterns, regulatory changes, and geopolitical developments.

This year’s EuroCham Economic Outlook will explore the pivotal question: Who will be Asia’s economic winners and losers in 2025, and how can businesses anticipate and adapt to the region’s evolving realities?

Key discussions will address:

• Geopolitical Dynamics: The implications of upcoming elections across Asia, including Indonesia, India, and other key economies, alongside the ripple effects of global events like the U.S. elections and shifting trade alliances.
• Regulatory Landscape: How evolving trade policies, regional frameworks, and cross-border agreements will shape business operations and investment flows across Asia.
• Demographic Shifts: The impact of ageing populations, urbanisation, and workforce transformations on Asia’s long-term growth potential.
• Market Trends: Sectoral winners and losers as businesses contend with economic headwinds, supply chain shifts, and technological advancements.

This flagship event provides a unique opportunity to gain insights from leading economists, policymakers, and industry experts who will unpack the trends and strategies essential to navigating Asia’s dynamic economic environment.
