Participating economists and experts believe that the global economy today is still struggling with a low growth rate, facing multiple challenges such as climate change, global inflation, geopolitical fragmentation, and weakened international cooperation.

Mr. Calvin Chenggang FU, Chairman of the China Innovation Finance Institute | Chengdu elaborated:

“Emerging economies in Asia and the Middle East face many challenges in growth and transformation, and opportunities lie in complementary cooperation in the future. The emerging and developed economies in Asia outperform in innovation, technology, talents, production capacity, and markets, while those in the Middle East are rich in energy, capital, and geo-economic influence. Asian countries, especially China, export their production capacity to the Middle East and North Africa, offering high-quality products and services to the Arab world with its cost-effective solutions. And a more sophisticated industrial chain ecosystem is crucial to the digitalized economic transformation and inclusive growth of the Middle East and North Africa. If sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East invest more in high-quality financial assets and innovative enterprises in Asian countries at large, China especially, countries in the Middle East would enjoy a long-term and secure industrial base for sovereign wealth management and economic growth, thus sharing the long-term growth benefits in Asia and China through investment. Despite challenges on the way forward, the great potential for cooperation between these two regions in cross-border trade, investment, and financing will be the key driver of their sustainable growth in the future.”
