Due to effective control of the pandemic, Asian equities soared in 2020 and outperformed their peers. China, as the largest economy in the region, continues to implement structural reforms to achieve long-term quality growth. The region also strengthened its economic relations with the introduction of RCEP to foster international cooperation.
Embracing the new normal, emerging market investors are also concerned about high valuations of hot sectors and Sino-US tensions. Will China continue to become the engine of Asian equity markets? How will the stimulus and financial reforms affect the overall outlook of Asian equities in 2021?
In this webinar, we will discuss topics including:
