Summary 內容: In June 2016, a referendum in the United Kingdom threw the global economy into a turmoil. About 52% of the population of United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union Common Market which wiped off almost $2 trillion worth of stock assets from the world stock markets. On the political front, Brexit itself sent shockwaves around Europe and the world. Hong Kong has been an important trade partner of the United Kingdom and has been subsequently affected by the referendum.
In light of these events, join us to discuss the opportunities and consequences of Brexit with Ms. Jo Hawley and Dr. C. Roland Vogt.
