Business Resilience in Asia: Thriving Amid Global Uncertainty and Trade Shifts

In the face of rising geopolitical tensions, shifting supply chains, and increasing protectionism, the need for business resilience has never been more urgent. Asia, as the epicenter of global trade, must navigate both significant challenges and untapped opportunities to ensure sustainable growth.

This high-level ministerial dialogue will bring together policymakers and prominent business leaders across the region to discuss the strategic role of government policies in fostering resilience. Ministers and business leaders from Singapore, Thailand, and key regional economies will share insights on policy priorities, innovation-driven growth, and how public-private collaboration can shape the region’s role in the global economy. The conversation will also explore how regional frameworks, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and other Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), are enabling market diversification, economic integration, and long-term competitiveness.
