Besides generating economic value, brands play a critical role in fueling economic recovery through innovation, creativity and optimism. They convey the source, quality and authenticity of products and services while representing pride, passion and trust, amongst others.

More than sixty percent of consumers are turning to brands they trust. At the Why Brands Matter webinar, hosted in association with IAA Malaysia and BFM 89.9, a panel of guest speakers explored the role brands play in protecting consumers, brand owners, and businesses, and discussed current regulatory policies and how these can impact brands and consumer activity.

The panel debated and discussed what sort of reforms need to be made in order to ensure the policies work for all stakeholders involved.

Samir Dixit, Managing Director at Brand Finance Asia Pacific joined the online panel to discuss the importance of the role of brands in value creation.
