Frost & Sullivan’s emerging market experts and economic research and analysis teams are partnering with clients to help provide the navigational tools to chart a pipeline of economic growth opportunities. Navigating economic and geopolitical risks while capitalizing on the opportunities is the essential value proposition of the Economic Analytics program.

The world economy will enter 2023 on a weak footing following growing geopolitical tensions, raging inflation and tightening credit conditions in 2022. As shallow recessions take hold in several advanced nations and emerging markets face currency and price pressures, short-term pains can’t be avoided. Frost & Sullivan economists will analyze global and regional economic growth prospects in this Think Tank for enhanced economic foresight. Insights into pressing current topics, such as inflation and rate hike dynamics, labor market predictions, and currency expectations, will be complemented by thought leadership from regional and external experts based on ground realities and foresight. Management executives and policymakers will hear critical risk and growth considerations to drive short- and medium-term strategic decisions.

In this Think Tank:

• Understand GDP growth and recessionary expectations across major economies.
• Retool business strategies based on top global predictions for 2023.
• Identify winners and laggards in the context of significant economic risks and upsides.

2023 Global Economy: Leveraging Major Trends and Growth Opportunities

The African investment landscape has undergone a significant positive change in recent years; this, combined with the economic slowdown of developed markets post-COVID, translates to global investors looking at Africa as a viable investment destination. Our Think Tank will focus on the four main platforms of investment into the region and their dynamics, namely venture capital (VC), private equity (PE), foreign direct investment (FDI), and infrastructure investment. This will provide a multi-faceted view of the investment landscape and associated trends for Africa's last growth frontier.

Investment Trends in Africa—The Last Growth Frontier

Recent advancements in supply chain management, business models, and technology have allowed many businesses to expand operations despite challenging times during the COVID pandemic. They also allowed service expansion to customers in Africa in an environment that can require unique solutions. In this Think Tank, we will discuss the challenges and focus on the pockets of excellence that have emerged, with an eye on future opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

• Identify the key opportunities in logistics advancements in Africa.
• Gain intelligence on the drivers and catalysts for logistics growth and the ability of companies to overcome challenges through unique business models.
• Learn about technological solutions in Africa.

Pockets of Excellence in Africa's Logistics Journey

Join this Think Tank as Frost & Sullivan regional leadership and economists critically assess the manufacturing potential of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) following an accelerated need for a China+1 strategy and global supply chain reorientation. The multifaceted Think Tank defines critical macroeconomic and manufacturing scenarios, providing a 360-degree overview of ASEAN market competitiveness for the next decade. This discussion will also highlight key go-to-manufacturing locations and a country cluster analysis based on a proprietary indexing methodology.

During the Think Tank, the following questions will be addressed:
• What are the key global factors behind the recent wave of nearshoring and reshoring?
• How will ASEAN macroeconomic dynamics influence the manufacturing investment potential of these countries?
• What long-term drivers will spur ASEAN manufacturing sector growth?
• Which ASEAN economies demonstrate the strongest go-to-manufacturing competitiveness?

Global Reorientation of Supply Chains & ASEAN's Rise as a Manufacturing Hub

The global economy has come under intensified pressure over the past few months due to the Russo-Ukrainian war and aggressive monetary tightening to control spiraling inflation. Interest rate hike decisions and weakening business activity have sparked recession fears, with industries and consumers wary of the risk of another imminent recession following the pandemic-induced slump. Market dynamics, however, generate mixed signals; for example, while US consumer spending cools, the job market appears to be strong. In this context, it is important for decision-makers to have informed insights and improved visibility into the global economic outlook to strategize accordingly.

Key Takeaways:

• What key factors point to a global recession or soft landing?
• What is the duration of an expected recession or slowdown period?
• Which economies and industries are better insulated from the downturn?
• What post-downturn trends should businesses leverage?
• How will the oil and gas sector perform considering the evolving economic outlook?
• What are some best practices to achieve resiliency from global threats?

Recession 2022-23: Strong Possibility or Market Hype?

Jolted by COVID-19, we’re now getting a glimpse of what the future of work holds for us. As it takes shape gradually and organically, the future of work will be an integration of smart work centers and remote work styles, wherein smart work centers powered by advanced technologies, devices and connected networks will help organizations achieve a high degree of flexibility, better employee engagement, higher productivity and increased revenues. Transformational shifts in work will play out across three major areas – future workspace, future work-force and future-workplace technology.

Future of Work-Paradigm Shifts in Workplace, Workforce and Technology.

A disciplined approach to shareholder value creation is likely to continue in 2022. CEO confidence is supported by robust economic growth. M&A activity in 2022 was aided by high equity valuations and low interest rates, both of which persisted throughout the year. As a result of the favorable capital market conditions in 2022 and the rapid growth of the global economy, some companies have announced asset divestitures and separate divisions to clarify their core businesses' strategic positioning. Is growth expected to continue in the coming year and which trends will businesses follow?

Banking & Financial Services: M&A Trends and Views for 2022

The economic recovery will continue in 2022, although the growth forecast has become weaker due to restraints such as lingering supply chain disruptions and new virus variants.

Due to the dynamic nature of the APAC region, as well as the fact that it has been a hub of economic growth for decades, these countries continue to undergo geopolitical and geostrategic shifts that present challenges and opportunities. The presentation elaborated on what the future will bring for the region.

APAC ECONOMIC OUTLOOK-  H2 UPDATE

For entrepreneurs and investors/advisors, this Think Tank will serve as a practical discussion in constructing and understanding valuations of start-ups in rapidly shifting industries, including drug development, medical devices, cybersecurity, and renewable energy. 

For large companies, valuation is based on forecasts of free cash flow; in technologically-driven industries, product pipelines can represent a large part of market capitalization. The situation is even more critical for small companies committed to a single idea—all of their value is linked to one project. Any business transaction or internal proposal to begin or terminate an R&D project in which innovative projects are valued or exchanged requires a realistic valuation of those projects. Moreover, different projects have different dynamics. Pharmaceuticals have large lead times and are dependent on patents and out-licensing agreements. In contrast, software develops quickly, and IP is hard to value. This will be a guide to building appropriate valuations for companies competing in rapidly shifting industries and offering products under new business models where little precedent exists, taking both financial and behavioral issues into consideration.

How to Value Start-ups and their Technologies from Cyber to Healthcare

Six hundred million people across Africa lack essential access to electrification, while 900 million rely on some biomass for heating and cooking. To address basic socio-economic requirements and support the economic development objectives of the region, Africa’s energy requirements will have to be met through a combination of feedstock sources, including natural gas and renewable technologies (solar PV, wind, etc.). Natural gas will address the necessary baseload requirements needed to balance national grids. However, parallel investments into renewable energy infrastructure are required to enable Africa’s transition to greener technologies. In addition, an equal amount of investment is required to develop Africa’s transmission and distribution networks to fully achieve energy access targets. This poses a massive opportunity for private-sector stakeholders to get involved in the energy and power sector if the policy and regulatory frameworks are conducive and consistently enforced.

Energy in Africa

As global economic conditions were gradually normalizing in 2022, the onset of the Russo-Ukrainian war unleashed new-found global volatility. Global commodity prices have surged, with heightened disruptions to global trade and fragile supply chains. Uncertainty regarding the longevity of sanctions has created a challenging environment for businesses. Against this backdrop, the Think Tank aims to shed light on the economic implications of the war on 2022 GDP growth, inflation, and energy market dynamics that can help businesses navigate short-term uncertainties. Based on a thorough assessment of global macroeconomic conditions, the discussion will cull out real-time insights into reorientation strategies and government policy priorities that businesses can leverage to insulate from the current war and future geopolitical shocks.

How is the Russo-Ukrainian War Driving Global Macroeconomic Shifts?

Marketing during the pandemic has, in a sense, masked our ability to confidently plan and predict what’s next. Uncertainty has become our new normal, although there’s nothing “new” about it. 

As virtual and digital are now the world’s channels of choice, connecting and engaging is harder than ever. The compass for reaching customers has had to be perpetually reset, and many marketers are still feeling lost.
