The Middle East Conflict & Its Impact on ASEAN | Economic Implications and Regional Outlook

Event Details

Join us for an insightful discussion exploring how the ongoing Middle East conflict is shaping economic conditions across Southeast Asia. Our expert speaker Yun Liu, ASEAN Economist at HSBC, will examine the regional impact of geopolitical uncertainty, including the effects on global trade, energy markets, inflation, and monetary policy.

The session will explore who is most affected by the conflict and who remains relatively insulated, alongside the implications of energy price shocks on ASEAN economies and supply chains. We will discuss how a hawkish US Federal Reserve stance influences ASEAN central bank decisions, how policymakers are responding through fiscal measures, and what this means for economic growth and business confidence across the region. The discussion will also cover the outlook for ASEAN currencies, investment sentiment, and the broader considerations for businesses operating in or expanding across Southeast Asia.
