AIA Group Chairman Shawn Baldwin joins International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde at the 2015 IMF and World Bank spring meetings in Washington, D.C.

Baldwin joined industry heavyweights including IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, former Federal Reserve Chairmen Paul Volcker and Ben Bernanke, and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Topics ranged from growth beyond commodities, the benefits and drawbacks of low oil prices and global development to environmental economics and sustainability.

"As we go forward two key factors in monetary policy will drive capital markets: quantitative easing by the European Central Bank led by Mario Draghi, along with interest rate increases at the Federal Reserve Market by Chair Janet Yellen," Baldwin said. "Both are critical to the global economy as we shift into the new investing paradigm."
