The IMF projects emerging Asian economies to expand 5.2% this year, slowing from 2023 but revised up from its forecast three months ago on stronger-than-expected growth in China. In 2025, emerging and developing Asia is expected to grow 4.8%, the IMF said in its upgraded World Economic Outlook.” Reuters 30/1/24
Asia accounts for over half the world’s population and well over half the forecast GDP growth for the next decade. As globalization is transformed, risk management skills will be vital in navigating the changing landscape in the region and beyond.
Critical risks to address include geopolitical tension, aging populations, climate change, web3.0, AI & cyber threats. The impact on businesses, societies and governments in Asia will have a global impact. As the worlds growth engine, Asia’s resilience means the world’s resilience.

Building Organisational Resilience against Impact of Climate Change and Natural Catastrophes
Building resilience is an important step for any organisation to ensure they are well prepared to meet the challenges stemming from climate change. While individual organisations may not be able to directly control these event, they can surely take steps to ensure they are prepared to manage and minimise their impact on business. In our experience helping clients, having a three-pronged approach is an effective way to build this resilience. In this highly interactive session, our experts will discuss aspects of intelligence gathering, proactive preparation, and risk financing, which are key towards building resilience against the impact of climate change and natural catastrophes.

Changing Landscape of Employee Benefits – Post Covid
In recent years, the landscape of employee benefits has undergone significant transformations, driven by evolving workforce expectations, advancements in technology, and shifting economic conditions. This synopsis explores the key trends and developments reshaping employee benefits, highlighting the implications for employers and employees –
- Customization and Flexibility of Benefits
- Focus on Holistic Well-being including Mental wellbeing
- Technology Integration / Emphasis on Digital Usage (AI / ML)
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
The changing landscape of employee benefits reflects a broader shift towards a more employee-centric approach, focusing on flexibility, well-being, and inclusivity. Employers who adapt to these trends and invest in comprehensive, personalized benefits packages are better positioned to attract, retain, and engage top talent in an increasingly competitive market.

How Captives and Alternative Risk Transfer can Supercharge Risk Management
Organisations that only focus on traditional third party risk transfer will forever be price “takers” in the market. A more sophisticated approach using tools such as captives, and/or alternative risk transfer mechanisms, allows the customer to take the role of market “maker” for their protection needs. Join us in this session to understand how this journey can play out for large global corporations, and be ready to seize the opportunities here in India as the regulatory space evolves.

Reshaping Risk Management as AI Transforms the Cyber Security Landscape
Cyber security continues to be a top risk concern on the minds of business leaders globally as the threat landscape is reshaped by the emergence and rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Whilst one of the most transformational forces likely to unlock a new wave of economic value creation, the adoption of AI also introduces new security risks. This panel discussion will explore the liabilities and implications of AI use cases across the digital value chain and why it is essential to reassess risk management strategies to maximise resilience in a complex and evolving cyber threat landscape. In this session we aim to explore how business leaders navigate through the interconnected risk landscape and the evolving growth strategy to adapt to this environment.
