The End of the Chinese Miracle? A Conversation with Bert Hofman, Former Country Director at the World Bank

Over the past decades, China’s economy has been ever-rising, with double-digit GDP growth every year. However, recent reporting seems to suggest that the Chinese economic miracle is going bust. Problems in the real estate market, a slow Covid-19 recovery, and geopolitical tension is combining in unpredictable ways to challenge China’s economy – so what will China do? And how will the rest of the world respond?

On February 6th, 14-15h, Room for Discussion will host Bert Hofman. He is the former World Bank’s Chief Economist of East Asia and the Pacific and Country Director for China, which makes him well placed to speak about China’s economic and geopolitical future. Be there or be square!
