As we head into the second quarter of 2024 what is in store for the global economy in the coming months? So far, multiple economic indicators show that the recovery momentum in China’s economy continues. And, that is expected to also boost the global economy. In the U.S., new economic numbers released Friday show robust jobs growth over the last month. But there are fears about inflation. And India’s economy is also getting lots of attention this month with elections coming up shortly. 

To discuss:

• John Gong is a professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.
• Yan Liang is Chair Professor in Economics at Willamette University.
• Ryan Patel is a global business executive and Senior Fellow at Claremont Graduate University.
• Sourabh Gupta is Senior Asia-Pacific policy specialist at the Institute for China-America Studies.
