Uncertainty is the new constant. From persistent inflation and tightening credit cycles to geopolitical fractures and technological disruption, today’s financial landscape demands a sharper lens—and a broader perspective.
Â
On 29 October 2025, the Fitch Group All Angles Forum returns to Singapore, gathering the collective intelligence of analysts and thought leaders from BMI, CreditSights, Fitch Learning, Fitch Ratings, Sustainable Fitch, and our community. We’ll explore the forces reshaping credit profiles, the evolution of risk across sectors—including the expanding role of private credit—and the actionable insights required to chart a course through instability.

As Asia cements its position at the heart of global growth and volatility, market participants face a world where yesterday’s playbook no longer holds. Are fixed income markets prepared for the mounting cross-border risk? How will corporates, financial institutions, and private credit investors navigate a shifting policy and funding environment? What new strategies will define resilience as investors recalibrate for a future marked by both challenge and promise?
Â
Join us on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, at Fitch Group’s All Angles Forum where we’ll examine the risks and opportunities shaping tomorrow’s capital flows and credit outcomes—we look forward to seeing you there.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR GLOBAL MACRO AND CREDIT MARKETS
Shifting economic forces worldwide are compelling market participants in Asia to adapt quickly to new realities. What is the outlook for the global economy and credit markets—how are tariff dynamics filtering through to inflation and growth, and how is credit responding globally and across Asia? The discussion will explore the policy path as central banks near the end of their easing cycles, the pressure on the Fed and its market impact, and how geopolitics intersects with industrial policy and the implications for supply chain risk.
