[Accident] Asking About the Future of Finance in the COVID-19 Era

Earlier this year, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) struck the world, delivering a massive shock to the global economy. As countries worldwide implemented lockdown measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, consumption, investment, and exports slowed down, and industrial production contracted significantly. In particular, the impact of COVID-19 on the domestic economy is complex and profound. There is growing concern over a vicious cycle where marginal companies reliant on exports go bankrupt, financial tightening worsens, and the economic recession accelerates. Amid this paradigm shift, we stand at a crossroads of change. Now, 'innovation' is not a choice but an essential condition for survival.

At Asia Economy's '2020 Seoul Asian Financial Forum (SAFF 2020),' under the theme 'Post-COVID, Financial Market Stabilization Measures,' we aim to deeply explore innovative strategies to overcome uncertainties in the era of the big blur in finance and capital markets. Discussions will also cover global financial cooperation, changes and responses in the global financial market post-COVID-19, and investment strategies.

This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of speakers and participants, the forum will be held as a webinar. We ask for your active participation and support in this forum, which offers a glimpse into the future of the financial industry and capital markets.
