SUMMARY REPORT!
The ‘Fourth EU Asia Top Economist Round Table’ (TERT) took place on 6 June 2014, during Asia Business Week Dublin - an initiative of Dublin City Council and Asia Matters with Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) as academic partner.!
!
Following on from the success of prior TERT events in Dublin and Tokyo, this flagship event gathered top economists and business leaders from Ireland, Europe and Asia to engage with one another on the latest developments in EU-Asia economic and trade relations.!

With Ireland and the EU continuing on a modest path to recovery and with many Asian economies performing well, there has never been a better time to explore the huge growth potential in EU-Asia relations. Multiple trade, investment and partnership negotiations are underway between the EU and its partners across Asia, with the potential to unlock vast business opportunities for growth, employment and innovation for both regions.!

The conference examined the strategic, economic and business perspectives of key trade issues concerning Asian, European and Irish business leaders and policy makers.!

The Fifth and Sixth TERTs will take place on 14 & 17 November 2014 in Tokyo and Beijing, respectively.
