Abenomics and beyond – David Pilling, Asia Editor for the Financial Times

he Japan Society and Clifford Chance are delighted to welcome David Pilling, Asia Editor for the Financial Times, to talk to members about Japan’s economic present and future.

 

From the much debated merits of Abenomics, to future policy forecasting, Pilling will explore the complexities of Japan’s changing fortunes and consider the pressures of regional politics, most critically the country’s troubled relationship with China.
