Adapting to the New Global Economic Landscape
VIEW EVENT DETAILSLuncheon presentation by Hiroshi Watanabe, President & CEO, Japan Bank for International Cooperation
More than two years after the Lehman crisis, the global economy is still struggling to recover. In fact, volatility and fragility remains higher than ever, with the international economy destabilized by issues such as the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone as well as currency wars elsewhere. What lies ahead is unusually unpredictable and full of uncertainties. What will the global economy look like in 2011 and beyond? How can Japan best adapt to the shifts that have occurred in the international economy to date? Will government initiatives along with private sector cooperation play an increasingly dominant and effective role?
