European Chamber hosts a seminar with Mr. Eklund

On March 3rd, the European Chamber in Shanghai was honored to welcome Mr. Eklund as panelist on a breakfast seminar on Sino-European relations.

Mr. Eklund is chief economist at SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken) and a member of the EU Commission's Group of Economic Policy Analysis. His analysis started with an outlook on the current European situation and hints of possible future perspectives. Focus was then paid to the different cases of Asia and the US, thus giving a complete overview on the global development path.

Over 60 participants, many of them coming from the Nordic countries, enjoyed the brilliant presentation. The inspiring speech was followed indeed by a very lively debate where attendees put questions on possible scenarios of the Chinese development, the European future and their interaction patterns.
