Dr. Krishna Srinivasan, Director of the Asia and Pacific Department, International Monetary Fund, breaks down the prospects for the region. We begin by talking about the coverage of the department, which is 37 countries, making up of half the world's population. We then dive into the 2023 balance of risks, which the IMF sees still tilted to the downside, but with a welcome decline in adverse risks. On the upside, Krishna expresses optimism about post-pandemic re-opening helping demand, while headline inflation softens at a pace faster than previously envisaged. On the downside, concerns remain about Russia's war in Ukraine, tighter global financing costs, various distortions posed by forces of deglobalisation, and lingering uncertainties around inflation. We then do a tour of Asia, starting with the two countries that are under IMF programs, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Krishna explains that state of macroeconomic affairs and the lending facilities being deployed in both cases. In this context, he also elaborates on the IMF's new Resilience and Sustainability Trust. After this, we take on, one by one, the challenges and promises of Japan, China, India, Indonesia, and Singapore. We cover it all--inflation, debt, monetary policy, property markets, corporate governance, human capital, and deglobalisation. A thorough macro health-check of Asia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But the market will be looking for answers to some key questions. Will Asia's oil demand in 2022 rise above 2019 level despite the emergence of omicron? Can high oil prices create hurdles for demand recovery? And finally, what's in store for oil as Asia speeds up efforts to embrace the energy transition process?

Asia Head of Competition Adelaide Luke and Tokyo senior associate Joel Rheuben discuss the increasingly significant role that data plays in merger control analysis by competition authorities worldwide. Analysis of data as a factor of competition is being examined not only in deals involving large digital platforms, but also in more traditional sectors, as companies seek to monetise data they produce and use data analytics to gain an edge over their competitors. However, the unique characteristics of data create challenges when considering it through a conventional competition law lens.

Asia Head of Competition Adelaide Luke and Australia senior associate Patrick Clark discuss how competition authorities approach digital platforms, the new and unique competition concerns that authorities might identify with those businesses, and the global trend to develop innovative regulatory responses.

In a shift of strategy to battle surging oil prices, Asia's leading oil consumers India and China have started selling crude oil from their strategic reserves for the first time ever, a sign that import-dependent countries in the region are opening up to the idea of using oil reserves not only at times of geopolitical uncertainty and supply risk, but also as a cushion to ward off financial risk.   Beijing held its first state auctions in September, while Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves has also started selling crude oil to state refiners.   In a wide-ranging discussion with S&P Global Platts Asia Energy Editor Sambit Mohanty, Asia Head of Content  Calvin Lee, and Platts Analytics Chief Geopolitical Advisor Paul Sheldon share their insights on how Asian oil importers are working towards balancing rewards with risk, as well as the implications of those decisions on global oil markets.
