Indo Pacific Region and Africa: an Economic Overview - by Intesa San Paolo
The 21 February 2025, Intesa San Paolo, during the Singapore Budget Breakfast Briefing (Cross-Chamber), presents an interesting topic regarding an in-depth economic overview of the Indo-Pacific and Africa, with a focus on trade, investment, and geopolitical trends. It explains how the Indo-Pacific concept has expanded over time to include more countries due to its increasing economic and strategic significance. Various nations, including the U.S., Canada, and several European and Asian countries, have adopted Indo-Pacific strategies.
The economic landscape is analyzed, highlighting that the ASEAN region remains a key driver of trade integration, benefiting from supply chain shifts and technological advancements. While Asia-Pacific economies show resilient growth forecasts, there are concerns over inflation, global trade policies, and geopolitical tensions that could affect stability. China’s role remains central, though structural challenges like the housing market crisis and U.S. trade restrictions are shaping its trajectory. Meanwhile, India’s economy is expected to slow slightly before rebounding due to strong domestic demand and policy adjustments.
Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing a pickup in economic growth and declining inflation, with key trade agreements such as AfCFTA expected to enhance integration and trade. The Middle East also presents a mixed picture, with the Gulf economies maintaining steady growth despite regional uncertainties.
Trade relations between Italy and various Indo-Pacific and African countries are analyzed, showing fluctuations in foreign direct investments and trade balances. Italy has significant trade deficits with China and India but enjoys trade surpluses with the UAE and Singapore. Key sectors include machinery, metals, textiles, and chemicals.
Overall, the presentation highlights both opportunities and challenges in the Indo-Pacific and Africa, with economic shifts driven by digital transformation, trade agreements, and policy changes in major economies.

Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and IEG Asia Strengthen Partnership for 2025 with renewed MOU
Singapore, 20th February 2025
The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (ICCS) and IEG Asia Pte. Ltd. have renewed their collaboration for the second consecutive year, marking a significant milestone with the signing of a MOU to support all IEG Asia events in 2025. The strategic partnership will encompass two exhibitions: the Singapore International Jewelry Expo (SIJE), taking place from 10 – 13 July 2025, and SIGEP Asia & Restaurant Asia from 16 – 18 July 2025. These events will be held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore.
SIJE 2025 is Singapore’s most prestigious and longest-running jewellery show, celebrating its 20th edition this year. It brings together leading international jewellers, collectors and buyers at a dazzling showcase of exquisite craftsmanship and the latest trends. This year, SIJE also introduces seven vibrant communities: Icon, Prestige, Facets, Timeless, Bijou, Essence and Venture – each specially curated to better showcase exhibitors’ offerings.
SIGEP Asia & Restaurant Asia 2025 is Southeast Asia’s premier platform for the foodservice, bakery, pastry, and hospitality industries, designed to connect decision-makers, procurement officers, and F&B operators with top suppliers. The 2025 edition introduces new experiential features, including the Nightlife & Entertainment Pavilion, Chocolate Pavilion with Janice Wong, and Technology & Innovation Pavilion, creating high-impact business opportunities.
As a regional extension of Italy’s world-renowned SIGEP World exhibition, and with Italy’s strong heritage in bakery and pastry, the partnership with ICCS will help Italian businesses thrive in the ASEAN market. Through targeted buyer engagements and exclusive B2B networking sessions, ICCS will connect Italian suppliers, restaurateurs, and foodservice brands with key industry players, opening new opportunities in the region and strengthening trade ties between Italy and Southeast Asia.
Following the success of the first collaboration in 2024, the renewed agreement underscores both parties’ commitment to fostering international business growth and strengthening trade relations between Italy and the Asia-Pacific region. As part of this effort, ICCS will also extend its outreach by engaging all Italian Chambers of Commerce in the APAC region, ensuring wider participation and industry connections in the events.
Expressing enthusiasm for the extended partnership, Ilaria Cicero, CEO of IEG Asia said: “We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with ICCS, as this partnership has proven instrumental in enhancing the success of our exhibitions. We look forward to strengthening our events’ international appeal and providing an even more dynamic platform for businesses to thrive. This partnership will further enrich both SIJE and SIGEP Asia & Restaurant Asia, ensuring high-quality engagement and valuable industry connections.”
Giacomo Marabisio, Managing Director of ICCS said: “Our commitment is to facilitate the interaction between Italians and Singaporeans companies. Singapore serves as the springboard for the Asia Pacific Region, and the collaboration with IEG Asia helps us to pursue our mission of increasing the bilateral trade between Italy and Singapore, always in coordination with the other Italian Institutions in Singapore, the Italian Trade Agency and, of course, the Embassy of Italy.
We hope SIJE and SIGEP Asia & Restaurant Asia will mark the beginning of more IEG Asia’s exhibitions in Singapore and further collaborations with our Chamber of Commerce.
This renewed partnership reaffirms the commitment of ICCS and IEG Asia to foster business opportunities in the respective event industries, especially within the APAC region. With this collaboration, the events are poised to deliver an invaluable experience to exhibitors, buyers and industry professionals alike.
