Capital Magnetism: Redefining Opportunities for Australian and US Investment

While the global economic outlook is considered resilient, a range of factors could be a sign of tougher times ahead for business.

Inflationary pressures, reduced global trade flows, escalating international conflicts and greatly polarised politics are all creating uncertainty.  The complex environment of regulatory and reporting changes, cyber risks and cost controls is elevating risk and weighing heavily upon business investment decisions.

To help you navigate the turbulence facing Australian businesses, AmCham will discuss and decipher these factors with leading industry thought leaders.
