Greetings

The global economy is currently suffering from unprecedented financial turmoil. Boom-bust periods are becoming shorter and the so-called advanced nations of the West are being pinpointed as culprits of the crisis.

Yet amidst this financial nightmare, Asian markets continue to stand on their ground. In fact, it is no coincidence that Asia is rapidly emerging as the new financial leader of this world.

In an effort to envision the future of Asian financial markets at the precipice of historic change, the Asia Business Daily is convening the ‘Seoul Asia Financial Forum 2012’ (sponsored by The Ministry of Finance, Financial Services Commission, Bank of Korea, Asia Development Bank, and Korea Investment Corporation).

Convened on the theme of ‘Asian Finance, Driving Sound & Sustainable Growth’, this forum will be an opportune event for global scholars to diagnose the challenges and discuss the opportunities of the Asian financial markets.

Furthermore, the forum will also examine key issues such as the possibility of Chinese Yuan in becoming the next reserve currency and the impact of an aging population on Asian markets.

To this end, we would like to invite you to the ‘Seoul Asia Financial Forum 2012’ where various issues in promotion of sustainable economic growth, along with regional integration in Asian markets will be addressed.
