The Next Frontier: Developments in South and Southeast Asia

We are currently in the Asian century and there is no turning back. Despite geo-political tensions and unending wars, economies in the region seem to be rising to the challenge and fueling growth. With 1/3rd of the world’s population and projected growth rates exceeding 5%, South and SE Asia are projected to outperform other developed markets by a fair margin. What factors have contributed to this growth and is this trend expected to continue? This panel will discuss how this region has responded with creativity and agility, both in terms of legal developments and political actions, to this ever-evolving situation.
