Event Reports

EuroCham Indonesia was honored to attend HSBC Indonesia's (one of our esteemed Platinum members) media briefing on the Asian & Investment Outlook 2025, held on January 9 in Jakarta. The event, themed "New Growth Engines for a Changing World," provided valuable insights into economic and investment trends for 2025.

Discussions highlighted the robust performance of risk assets anticipated in early 2025, driven by global economic resilience and synchronized central bank rate cuts. Asia ex-Japan is expected to lead with 4.4% GDP growth, fueled by strong domestic demand and policy stimulus. HSBC emphasized the potential of global equities, with a focus on AI-driven innovation, technology, and industrials, alongside a diversified approach through private markets and hedge funds.

For Indonesia, key growth drivers include infrastructure development, export diversification, and resilient domestic consumption, supported by stable inflation and fiscal discipline. Opportunities in local bonds, currency, and strategic risk management tools, such as gold and hedge funds, were also highlighted as critical for navigating uncertainties in the year ahead.

Thank you to HSBC Indonesia for such an insightful event.
