About the Event

China and India, the world’s first and third-largest economies by purchasing power parity, wield immense global influence. Together, they account for 35 percent of the global population and are projected to contribute 50 percent of global economic growth in 2024. Their economies are key drivers of regional and global trade, deeply intertwined with supply chains and crucial to addressing global challenges like climate change. Both nations are also at the forefront of innovation in sectors such as financial technology. As members of BRICS, they advocate for reforms in global governance and the financial architecture to ensure fairer representation.

The launch will set the stage for a series of workshops and public events on China-India and the global economy, jointly organised by the East Asian Institute and the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. Through a series of workshops and public events, this initiative will explore key issues related to China and India and their roles in the global economy. By bringing together academics, policymakers, practitioners and business leaders, these events will foster dialogue and provide deeper insights into the evolving influence of China and India on the global stage.

中国与印度是全球按购买力平价计算的第一和第三大经济体，具有巨大的全球影响力。两国共占全球人口的35%，预计将在2024年贡献全球经济增长的50%。中国与印度的经济是区域和全球贸易的重要驱动因素，与供应链紧密相连，对解决气候变化等全球挑战至关重要。这两个国家也在金融科技等领域处于创新的前沿。作为金砖国家的成员，中国与印度倡导全球治理和金融体系的改革，以确保更公平的代表性。

新加坡国立大学东亚研究所（EAI）与南亚研究所（ISAS）联合举办的“中国-印度与全球经济”系列研讨会与公开活动将由此次的发布会拉开帷幕。通过一系列的研讨会和公共活动，本项目将探讨与中国和印度及其在全球经济中的作用相关的关键问题。通过汇集学者、政策制定者、从业专家和商业领袖，联办的活动将促进对话，并为中国和印度在全球舞台上日益增长的影响力提供更深入的见解。
