The European Chamber, together with the Benelux Chamber, is delighted to invite you to a breakfast seminar providing an analysis of the financial markets and an outlook on what can be expected for the rest of this year and beyond.
With continuing unpredictability for financial markets around the world, of which Europe seems to grab the headlines most, it is especially difficult to make strategic decisions for business growth. Asia has often been considered a safer channel for investment, but regional tensions persist in many spheres.
Speakers Tim Condon and Harald Benink will be providing insights and predictions on some of the key financial territories including Europe, China and the USA.
