Age of Asia: Rise of a Multipolar World

Age of Asia: Rise of a Multipolar World Age of Asia: Rise of a Multipolar World

For decades, pictures of factory workers toiling on assembly lines were the snapshots many Western investors kept in their minds about Asian economies. It’s time to develop a new image because the chapter of Asia as just a satellite of the West, producing goods at low cost for overseas consumers, has closed.

Today, Asia sees entrepreneurs building world-leading businesses, trade pacts facilitating both talent and cross-border commerce, and new Chinese capital, with its tech bent and Belt and Road linkages, helping to lift regional economies. Asia’s governments are also becoming innovators, deploying digital technology for healthcare, connectivity, and currencies. It all culminates in the potential to pull the world’s economic gravity Eastward.

This report examines the circumstances, opportunities, and risks that business leaders and investors looking at the region should take into account as Asia wields greater economic gravity in an increasingly multipolar world.
