Global shifts, automation, climate change, and US-China tensions are reshaping businesses around the world. The joint Angsana Council, Bain & Company, and DBS Bank SEA Outlook 2024-2034 report reveals how Malaysia and Southeast Asia can capitalise on emerging growth sectors, adapt to geopolitical changes, and embrace new technologies for future success.

In today’s conversation with Charles Ormiston, Advisory Partner at Bain & Company and Chair of Angsana Council; and Karen Harris, the Managing Director for Bain’s Macro Trends Group, we explore key economic projections and critical themes such as automation and ageing populations that will shape business strategies in the next three to five years.
