[About AEPF 2026]
Asia Economics and Policy Forum (AEPF2026), organized by East Asia Research and supported by the Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Macao, will be a hybrid conference happening in Singapore from July 28-29, 2026.
Conference Theme: Green Growth, Financing and Building a Sustainable Future
As the world grapples with climate change, resource constraints, and the urgent need for sustainable development, it is clear that economics and policy must work hand in hand. How can technology and finance converge to decarbonize economies? How can we ensure a transition that is inclusive and beneficial for all?This conference provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights, debate strategies, and explore solutions for a more resilient future. While we particularly encourage research at the intersection of economics and policy related to sustainability, we also welcome studies in other areas of economics, fostering an inclusive exchange of ideas.
