Steven joined the Business Leaders Forum last night, hosted by the The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and in partnership with Standard Chartered, alongside Steve Brice, Dilpreet Singh Obhan, and Rajat Bhattacharya.
The panel tackled the big question: what does the 2025 tariff reset mean for global trade and business?
The discussion highlighted:
🔹 ASEAN’s rise - only 3% of world GDP, yet attracting 15% of global FDI
🔹 South–South trade gaining momentum and reshaping global flows
🔹 Opportunities in equities, private assets, gold, and digital assets
But the reality is more sobering: tariffs are here to stay, global imbalances won’t correct quickly, and Southeast Asia is already feeling the pressure from Chinese overcapacity and tighter U.S. enforcement.
