2022 will be a high-wire act for Asian businesses
AS we enter 2022, it is apparent that we are living in a new era, marked by a myriad of persisting and emerging challenges.
First, concerns about the climate are growing, as evident from what we saw at the recent COP26 summit. Further, it is apparent that even as many countries talk about post-pandemic economic recovery, we are still very much in the thick of it.
The confluence of these factors, and a constant shift of the geopolitical balance while the US and China fight it out on the world stage, will have a major impact on how we do business in Asia.
