Join us for a dynamic and insight-rich economic review with Yun Liu, ASEAN Economist at HSBC, as she unpacks the key trends shaping the global and Southeast Asian recruitment landscape.
Yun will provide an up-to-date economic outlook for Southeast Asia, including GDP growth projections for key ASEAN markets and the sectors most relevant to our professional services community such as technology, engineering, energy, and financial services. She will explore current employment trends, skills demand, and the impact of recent economic policy changes in Singapore and Malaysia.
The discussion will also cover geopolitical developments shaping trade and investment, updates on US tariffs and global market conditions, as well as demographic insights including ageing populations and immigration trends in Singapore and Malaysia. Together, these themes will offer essential context for business planning, market expansion, and investment decisions for the year ahead.
