As the international organization responsible for macroeconomic surveillance across ASEAN+3, AMRO’s mandate to contribute to the region’s economic and financial growth and stability is even more significant in today’s uncertain environment.
To mark AMRO’s 10th anniversary, we are pleased to bring you this special event: 10 Years of Contributing to Macroeconomic and Financial Stability in ASEAN+3
The celebration brings together policymakers and economic advisers to discuss the region’s alliance since the Asian financial crisis through to the present COVID-19 pandemic, and provides a glimpse into how regional financial cooperation can help ASEAN+3 economies emerge stronger post-pandemic.
This is a hybrid event.
