Organised by East Asia Research and supported by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, and Loughborough University, APEF2026 will be held in a hybrid format, welcoming both in-person and online participants. With a decade-long track record and international academic partnerships, APEF2026 continues to attract global attention as a top economics and finance conference in 2026.
Why APEF2026 Is Considered One of the Best Economics Conferences in 2026
Now in its 10th edition, APEF2026 brings together economists, financial researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners from academia, government, and the private sector. The conference provides a high-impact platform to present research, exchange evidence-based insights, and establish long-term research collaborations.
Held in Singapore, one of Asia’s leading financial and academic hubs, APEF2026 offers participants exposure to diverse perspectives across macroeconomics, finance, development economics, applied economics, and interdisciplinary research.
Strong Publishing and Indexing Opportunities
A defining feature that places APEF2026 among the best economics conferences in 2026 is its robust publication pathway. Selected papers will be published in the Springer Nature volume:
Economics and Finance Readings – Selected Papers from the Asia-Pacific Conference on Economics & Finance, part of a respected publication series with editions released between 2016 and 2025. SCOPUS indexed in 2023 and 2025. APEF2026 is particularly attractive for researchers seeking visibility and citation impact.
