RESPONSE

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.

Integrating Cyber Security and Cyber Insurance into Your Risk Strategy

In an increasingly digital world, cybersecurity must be viewed as an enterprise-wide issue that requires coordination across all departments, including the board and business owners. Cyber insurance is a crucial element of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. It complements internal security measures and transfers financial risk, enabling businesses to concentrate on core operations. As cyber-attacks increasingly target production and revenue, the costs of downtime can be staggering. A well-structured cyber insurance policy not only provides financial support and facilitates rapid recovery planning but also aids long-term risk reduction by offering insights to enhance organisational security. As threats evolve, integrating cyber insurance into risk management frameworks is essential for sustainable business resilience.

Diverse Perspectives, Safer Outcomes: Integrating DE&I into Risk Management

Trust is the foundation of successful organisations, not just towards their customers, but also internally with their employees. Companies can build trust by practicing equity, inclusivity and transparent communication, which leads to higher engagement, productivity, and retention. But this is not just an HR job. Inclusive leadership plays a critical role in creating a more equitable, engaged, and sustainable workplace.

This session will discuss how anchoring trust and equity in workplace practices can mitigate enterprise risks such as managing value, pay, and health gaps, while also addressing people risks such as talent retention and knowledge loss. It will also demonstrate how investing in leadership skills such as empathy, active listening, and encouraging diverse voices is vital for DEI success.

The Pursuit of Sustainability and its Impacts

Since the start of the decade, we increasingly hear reports of corporations being fined millions of dollars and suffering reputational damage due to greenwashing, or marketing of misleading information with regards to their ESG practices. Companies globally are under greater pressure from stakeholders & investors to openly share their low-carbon transition strategies and outcomes, and tagging along with this are reputation, regulatory, compliance and litigation risks. See what strategies and risk transfer tools can risk managers add to their disposal to achieve effective compliance and transparent disclosures, inspiring meaningful change beyond the threat of greenwashing.

Sustainable Supply Chains – from Resilience to Outcomes

COVID-19 became a real-time stress test on the resilience of organisations worldwide, revealing structural issues within the global supply chain and the overall concept of JIT (just-in-time) framework. While still recovering from the pandemic, wars, trade disputes, climate change and the drive toward sustainability have collectively put even more pressure on companies to manage risks beyond their operational sphere. In addition to this are evolving regulatory requirements, such as sanction compliance, which continue to challenge Asian based manufacturers to demonstrate their sustainability. In this session, we will demonstrate what can help risk managers to increase their visibility & agility to be risk-ready and build holistic & sustainable supply chains.
