The ASEAN economies are facing increasingly complex economic challenges amid global geopolitical uncertainty and a global economic slowdown. Strengthening economic resilience and fiscal stability will be essential to sustaining growth and stability in the region.
To foster dialogue and exchange ideas on these issues, the Faculty of Economics and Business, Gadjah Mada University (FEB UGM), in collaboration with AMRO, will host a seminar titled “Navigating Global Uncertainty: Sustaining Growth and Stability in ASEAN” on Tuesday, 26 May 2026, at the Function Hall, 8th Floor, Learning Center Building, FEB UGM.
The seminar will bring together academics, economists, policymakers, students, and other stakeholders to discuss the region’s economic outlook, evolving risks, and policy priorities amid an increasingly uncertain global environment. Discussions will also explore the role of regional cooperation in strengthening resilience and fiscal stability in the long term.
AMRO representatives will present the findings of the latest ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook 2026 report and the ASEAN+3 Fiscal Policy Report 2026, covering regional growth prospects, fiscal developments, emerging risks, and policy trade-offs. Discussions will also examine how regional economies can safeguard economic resilience while maintaining growth.
The seminar will include a panel discussion moderated by FEB UGM Lecturer Dea Yustisia, with panelists Denni Puspa Purbasari, Economist, FEB UGM; Juli Budi Winantya, Director of the Department of Economic and Monetary Policy, Bank Indonesia; Allen Ng, Group Head and Lead Economist, AMRO; and Seung Hyun Hong, Group Head and Lead Economist, AMRO.
