Deep dives
China's economic challenges and shifting growth drivers
China's nominal GDP growth has decreased from 20% to 6%, signaling a shift in the economy's growth drivers. The decarbonization and industrial automation sectors are experiencing significant growth, with opportunities for investment and innovation. While challenges persist in the real estate market, these emerging sectors offer potential avenues for economic development in China.
The evolving investment landscape in Japan
Japan's corporate reform initiatives, including increased corporate carve-outs and privatization of real estate assets, are generating investment opportunities. More activism and a focus on productivity gains contribute to Japan's shifting economic dynamics. These changes offer potential for investors to navigate the evolving investment landscape in Japan.

Investors should pay attention to India's growth story and the expanding opportunities in the market.
Creating a favorable work environment through employee incentives
