The Asian Institute of Finance recently hosted a briefing on the global economy by Dr Bart van Ark. The talk was entitled: Global Economic Outlook 2016, Growth Forecast and Implications for Business Leaders in Asia.
Bart van Ark is Executive Vice President and Chief Economist of The Conference Board. He forecast that the global economy will only grow at a modest pace in 2016. Emerging markets will also continue to slow down, although growth in these countries should remain comfortably higher than mature economies.
