The conferences provide real education and networking opportunities, while maintaining a close-knit, intimate environment that attendees prefer. APEF conferences are popular for their selection of breakout sessions tackling the most important issues facing the Economics and Finance community, presented by carefully selected subject matter experts with experience in those topics. Presentations ranging from academic researches to real-world case studies will keep you engaged and engrossed. 2020 Conference Theme: 'International Capital Flows and Foreign Investment' There has quite rightly been a strong focus on liberalising international trade in the Asia-Pacific. Much less attention however has been paid to liberalising foreign investment in the region. Yet economic theory suggests foreign investment, through a range of microeconomic and macroeconomic channels, can deliver productivity and national income gains comparable with those stemming from international trade. Questions also arise about whether short term capital flows can be destabilising for economies via foreign exchange, bond and equity markets. We welcome all papers on the topics of Economics and Finance to be presented at APEF 2020, happening on the 23rd and 24th July 2020 at the Furama Riverfront Hotel. APEF Keynote Speakers: Dr Steven Cochrane, Chief APAC Economist, Moody's Analytics Dr. Kai-Hong Tee, Senior Lecturer in Finance, Loughborough University Dr. Tony Makin, Professor (Economics), Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics, Griffith University Dr. Evan Lau, Associate Professor, UNIMAS Enquiries: anthonytan@ear.com.sg Web address: https://apef.ear.com.sg Sponsored by: East Asia Research, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), Loughborough University (UK)
