Saxo's Q2 Outlook: The Fragmentation Game

Date: april 11, 2023

Event: Webinar

Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).

Saxo's Q2 2023 Quarterly Outlook is out now. This quarter's theme is "The Fragmentation Game", which is our term for how the world's economic blocs have lurched into realignment to secure access to energy, other vital resources, supply chains and computing power (mostly semiconductors). Meanwhile, the banking sector turmoil at the end of Q2 has brought risks of a credit crunch and a sharp increase in the probability of a recession in the developed economies this year.

Join our Q2 2023 quarterly outlook webinar, hosted by Redmond Wong, Market Strategist at Saxo Markets Hong Kong, to explore the investment implications of the secular trend of fragmentation and the latest development in the market. Highlights of the discussion will include: 

• Bonds & FX: What happens when a tightening cycle ends before inflation is defeated?
• Equities. Fragmentation and banking crisis mean pain, but also opportunities
• Commodities: Caught between a slowdown in US and Europe and recovery in China demand

After the presentation, please stay for a live Q&A session!

Upping Your Game Within Cross-cultural Communication!

Date: marts 07, 2023

Event: Webinar

Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).

Have your ever felt puzzled about by the behavior of a global colleague and thought something along the lines of: Why didn’t they say no if they meant no? Why didn’t they say that they couldn’t meet the agreed deadline? Why didn’t they just say it like it is???

The explanation is most likely that they actually did say this! They just said it in a different way than what you’re used to.

If you want to avoid ending up in these kinds of situations in the future, the first step is to become aware of how you and your global colleagues typically prefer to communicate.

During the short webinar I’ll introduce you to the term ‘Low-high context communication’ and by using many real-life-examples and cases we will take our departure point in the difference btw DK and CN communication and you will walk away with insight and a few practical things to do and not to do to maximize your output in your cross-cultural communication.

Post-Covid China and Foreign Business - Quo Vadis?

Date: februar 24, 2023

Event: Supported Webinar

This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The  series will bring you six webinars with China-based experts, concentrated on H1, between February and June 2023.

'Staying in Dialogue with China', is organized and hosted by the Stein am Rhein Symposium (stars) in cooperation with China Macro Group (CMG),  The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC), Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) and SwissCham China.

At this first session, stars Foundation Board Member Markus Hermann, Managing Director at China Macro Group, will be talking to Joerg Wuttke, President, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China ; Member, stars International Board, Beijing, about China’s economy post-Covid.

With 3%, the country in 2022 recorded the worst economic performance since 1976 – with the exception of 2020, the year Covid hit the world. A strict “zero Covid” policy that at times had put metropolitan regions that account for up to 40% of China’s GDP under lockdown, an international environment dampened by Russia’s unjustified war in Ukraine and global protectionist tendencies, as well as domestic regulatory measures – most notably in real estate – have dealt a heavy blow to the second largest economy in the world.

Now, with Covid restrictions lifted, businesses and investors wonder what 2023 might have in store, and how the Chinese economy will fare beyond 2023. Can we expect a quick recovery on the back of so-called revenge spending by consumers largely contained to their homes in 2022? Does the Chinese government manage to restore confidence among consumers and businesses and stabilize capital and real estate markets? And what do these trends and developments mean for foreign businesses and their China strategies?

Kindly note that all webinars of this series are held under Chatham House Rules and will not be recorded.

Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality Part 4

Date: februar 16, 2023

Event: Supported Webinar

This webinar is a part of the 'Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality' campaign organised in collaboration with the Norwegian Business Association and FinnCham, and supported by the Danish-Chinese Business Forum in Denmark.

Over the recent years, reducing carbon emissions has become the main sustainability issue (both for governments and for companies), globally and in China. China has set ambitious targets with peak carbon emissions in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060

These targets will have large impact on companies, some of these impacts may be:

• New regulations, such as carbon pricing & demands for energy efficiency in new builds.
• Shifting customer demands that focus on global commitments to emission reduction.
• Reporting on supply chain emissions due to EU regulations.
• Potential market opportunities for emission reducing technologies.
• Young talents may increasingly wish to work on sustainability related issues, or within companies with good sustainability profile
