The event brought together over 60 attendees, comprising treasurers, senior leaders, and key executives from various financial institutions, Government Linked Companies (GLCs) and corporations.
 
The seminar featured two experts: Eugene Leow, Senior Rates Strategist with DBS Bank in Singapore. He started out as a Southeast Asia economist when he joined the bank in June 2011. Prior to DBS, he worked as an analyst covering economics, politics, and financial markets in Southeast Asia.

The second speaker is Phillip Wee, Senior FX Strategist also from DBS Bank. At DBS, Wee oversees the market views for five major currencies and eleven Asian currencies. He works closely with DBS’ many corporate advisory teams in helping government-linked companies to small-and-medium enterprises – to manage their exchange rate risks and has worked with clients to improve their hedging models and built currency baskets for hedging purposes.

The speakers shared insights on the current state of the global economy and its outlook, delving into the pressing question, "Is a recession avoidable?".
