Asia In-Depth - Economy Watch: Japan, China, and India
play

02/11/25 • 40 min

Late last year, at our annual STATE OF ASIA conference, we hosted a conversation on the economic developments in Japan, China, and India.

After decades of stagnation, Japan’s economy is showing optimism from structural shifts like labor market reforms and wage increases that are finally starting to pay off.

In China, growth has peaked and the government is yet to succeed in convincing its population it’s okay to spend money.

All the while, India is now the fastest-growing developing economy and scrambling to shed its protectionist past in order to create a lot more much-needed jobs.

This, and much more, was discussed in three 12-minute conversations by:

  • Garima Mohan, Senior Fellow in the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States
  • Alicia García Herrero, Chief Economist Asia Pacific at Natixis
  • Yumiko Murakami, General Partner at MPower Partners Fund, L.P.

More information on the conference, the speakers, plus videos and summaries, are available on our website.

Asia In-Depth - China’s Economy—Headed for a Crash?
play

07/07/16 • 28 min

After embracing market reforms in 1979, the world's largest communist country blindsided the world with three decades of consistent double-digit GDP growth. It was dubbed the "China Miracle." But now, the country's growth is rapidly slowing and a raft of grave concerns about demographics, the middle-income trap, capital flight, and debt are emerging in its economy. So does this mean economic catastrophe, or can it be managed? In this episode we hear from a range of economists, investors, and journalists to unpack what’s going on in China’s economy, and what a stumble might mean for the world.
