Could Japan and China become a key engine of sustainable growth for the global economy? Japan may finally be emerging from its decade-long malaise, while economic growth in China continues at a solid pace. Nonetheless critics point to inefficient and underdeveloped capital markets, inflexible exchange rates, crippled monetary policy and ineffective fiscal policy as substantial hurdles for Japan and China to overcome. This panel brings together distinguished experts from the public and private sectors to explore how Asia’s leading economies can work with the U.S. and Europe to use financial markets and market mechanisms effectively to foster sustainable growth.
