China-India Series

A collaboration between the East Asian Institute (EAI) and the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS)

China and India, the world’s first and third-largest economies by purchasing power parity, wield immense global influence. Together, they account for 35 percent of the global population and are projected to contribute 50 percent of global economic growth in 2024. Their economies are key drivers of regional and global trade, deeply intertwined with supply chains and crucial to addressing global challenges like climate change. Both nations are also at the forefront of innovation in sectors such as financial technology. As members of BRICS, they advocate for reforms in global governance and the financial architecture to ensure fairer representation. 

The East Asian Institute and Institute of South Asian Studies will launch a series of workshops and public events on China-India and the global economy on November 14. Through a series of workshops and public events, this initiative will explore key issues related to China and India and their roles in the global economy. By bringing together academics, policymakers, practitioners and business leaders, these events will foster dialogue and provide deeper insights into the evolving influence of China and India on the global stage.
