With the rising tension between the world's two largest economies, U.S. and China, how can or will the US-dollar be "weaponized" between the two countries?
To present on this topic, SwedCham has invited SEB and Gränges. Topics to be discussed include:
- How has the US-Dollar been weaponized previously?
- SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) - can it be used/abused?
- What is the expectation for USD / CNY?
- Will China push the digital currency (eYuan) to gain more independence?
- How can companies prepare for what's coming?
This event will be both online and offline, with the offline participants having the opportunity to mix and mingle following the presentations and Q&A.
