Bloomberg CEO Forum @ ASEAN | Bloomberg Live | 5 September 2023 | Fairmont Jakarta, Jl. Asia Afrika No.8, Senayan, Kecamatan Tanah Abang, Kota Jakarta Pusat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 10270, Indonesia

Asean will face political and economic pressure head on and will flourish in the years ahead - with the alliance on track to become the world’s fourth largest economy by 2030.

At this Forum, we convene leading CEOs from a wide array of industries to map out a blueprint for business and economies to recover and rebuild. Join us in person this September in Jakarta, Indonesia, for dynamic conversations about the trends, risk and opportunities facing Asean economies and beyond.

Coordinating efforts during the pandemic has created closer relations and sustainable growth is being pushed by increasing public-private coordination. Increasing food and energy prices and a surge in consumption demand post Covid is driving inflation but trade between the 10 nations continues to grow.

A wave of foreign direct investment could also be headed for the region, according to Bloomberg Intelligence, as China frees up capital. Asean has the appeal of abundant natural resources, a large and still growing population, steadily improving business climate and a lengthening track record for prudent governance.

Bloomberg Live fuses global perspectives with local knowledge, bringing together the most influential, dynamic and innovative figures in politics, finance and economics alongside Bloomberg journalists and analysts to unpack the most significant opportunities and biggest risks across this dynamic region.

Key Themes:
• Resilience and Growth Across Asean
• Digital Asean: Staying Competitive
• Trading Better Using Crypto and Digital Currencies
• Maintaining Strong Foreign Relations Across 10 Countries
• The Rising Influence of Indonesia
• Temperature Check on Asean’s Energy Transition
• Preserve and Protect: Our Region’s Natural Resources
• Infrastructure Improvements in Asean
• Our Most Important Investment? Harnessing Human Capital
