Mr Chan discussed the experience of Hong Kong navigating global shocks over the past 40 years and highlighted the importance of understanding the implications of disturbances, from pandemic and supply chain disruptions to monetary policy changes and geopolitical tensions on key aspects of the global economy. Professors Rey and Zilibotti’s keynotes explored spillovers of US and Chinese monetary policies through global financial and trade cycles and the implications of service-led economic growth on inequality and the environment.
