Programme

In this keynote fireside chat, Timothy Geithner, who played a central role in the US response to the Global Financial Crisis and the post crisis reforms, will share his views on the recent banking failures, lessons learnt from past financial crises, and what the future holds for financial stability (risks).

Despite the volatility that has disrupted markets globally, many emerging economies have stayed resilient, in great part thanks to improved policymaking and better managed financial markets.

While the long-term growth prospects of these economies are undoubtedly recognised, their unique socio-economic, geopolitical and sustainability challenges should likewise not be underestimated. Featuring global, regional and market-specific perspectives from China, India and Brazil, this panel will discuss how investors and businesses could best navigate the opportunities and risks presented by emerging markets.

With an additional $126 trillion* needed to reach net zero by 2050, financing the solutions required to decarbonise the global economy also offers significant investment opportunities.

At the GIC innovation showcase, founders and CEOs will share how they are working towards decarbonising the most carbon-intensive industries, including energy, transport and industrial production. Learn more about what it takes to commercialise and scale emerging climate technologies, accelerate transition pathways and tackle common pitfalls encountered along the way.
