\u00a0<\/strong>Chennai, June 28, 2017 –<\/strong> The Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), Singapore\u2019s oldest not-for-profit professional institute for lifelong learning, hosted its second Breakfast Talk for the year on \u201cEconomic Outlook and Market Insights\u201d. The talk attracted close to 400 corporate members, industry partners and students.<\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a>Participating corporate heavyweights and MDIS students got an opportunity to gain valuable insights into ASEAN\u2019s growth potential and opportunities, and interact with industry expert, Mr Song Seng Wun, Director and Economist of CIMB Private Banking.<\/p>\n

Mr Song shared that while world trade is expected to grow by 2.4% this year, there is deep uncertainty due to economic and policy developments, particularly in the US. However, markets are upbeat as the global macro picture has shown positive snapshots despite geopolitical risks, which seem to indicate moderate recovery is underway. China is on a steadier growth path, with stronger than expected 1Q17 GDP and expected economic expansion of 6.2% this year. The country\u2019s One Belt, One Road (Obor) initiative will present numerous collaborative and development opportunities for businesses and governments. Looking ahead, Mr Song advises to keep an eye on the return of inflation even as corporations and businesses seek regional and global opportunities and growth.<\/p>\n

The \u201cEconomic Outlook and Market Insights\u201d talk is the second in a series of Breakfast Talks organised by MDIS to encourage engagement in intellectual discussions and networking with experts from various fields. Previous talks included \u201cOptimising Business Growth \u2013 Online and Offline Strategies\u201d, \u201cProgressive Workforce in the 21st<\/sup> Century\u201c, and \u201cInfluence without Authority\u201d.<\/p>\n
