We are holding our 2nd 2018 International Business Council Munich (IBCM) Event at the Marriott Hotel in north Schwabing on Wednesday, 5th December. The event will feature an enlightening discussion led by Keynote Speaker Prof. Dr. Gabriel Felbermayr, one of Germany’s top global trade experts, who will address the present Global and Transatlantic Trade situations
With his deep experience and top-level contacts on international trade and economics, Prof Dr. Felbermayr will provide us an illuminating overview of the current transatlantic and global trade situations.
- What is the current status in Europe and especially Germany on the transatlantic tariff discussions? Are the real balance of trade issues properly perceived?
- What effects are the US tariff initiatives having on Europe’s trade with the rest of the world?
- How are China and other major trade nations reacting?
- What is the expected trade picture in 12 months? And in two years?
Given the recent heated rounds of political discussions on trade and looming tariff aspects, this is certain to be a highly informative and insight-full discussion with a following session of Q&A.
