As fossil fuels become less available, and with the need to transition to lower-carbon alternatives, isn’t tomorrow’s energy likely to be costlier and subject to greater uncertainty about availability? 

What is the outlook?

Transformed by this challenging health crisis episode, the country is undergoing numerous changes, whether they are political, social, or economic. While it remains a land of opportunities for businesses, some balances seem precarious: a trade war with the United States, heightened tensions with Taiwan, a rapprochement with Russia, and complex relations with other Western powers. Is the world's second-largest economy still as indispensable for businesses as it once was?


Two experts from Coface reveal the risks and opportunities of this country for businesses, in light of tumultuous current events. Bernard Aw is Chief Economist for the Asia and Pacific region, and Raphaël Rousselot, Chief Underwriting Officer Asia Pacific.

Beyond the human disasters related to the conflict, it is a war of influence, political alliances and economic and energy dependence that is at stake. 

We discuss these issues with Tatiana Kastouéva Jean, director of the Russia and New Independent States Centre at the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), and two Coface experts: Christiane von Berg, head of Economic Research for Northern Europe and Grzegorz Sielewicz, head of CEE Economic Research.

The recovery is also very uneven, even more so within the "emerging bloc" where situations are very diverse. In many countries, particularly among the less developed, the crisis will have a lasting impact and the scars will take time to fade.
