Confronting Global Economic Shocks: Lessons & Challenges for the Global South

The war in West Asia has sent fresh shockwaves through the global economy. Faced with volatile energy markets and their cascading consequences, many governments have moved quickly — reaching for whatever policy tools are available to soften the impact on their citizens and stabilise their economies.

But what comes after the firefighting? How do developing nations move from crisis management to building the kind of resilience that holds — across education, childcare, gender equity, and beyond?

Join us for a timely and critical conversation on crisis management, policy innovation, and what it really takes to build long-term resilience in the Global South.

Panelists:

  • YB Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Finance Malaysia
  • Shakira Teh Sharifuddin, Senior Economist, The World Bank
  • Shahril Hamdan, Podcaster, Keluar Sekejap

Moderated by Dr Shahridan Faiez, Chairman, Citizens International

This forum is co-hosted by the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI), Sunway University, and Citizens International — bringing together critical voices on the challenges shaping our economic future.

We look forward to seeing you there!
