Ladies and gentlemen, This is Se-Jung Lee, CEO of Asia Business Daily.As global economic environment is rapidly changing, every nation around the world is actively looking for productive and beneficial industries for the future. Quantitative Easing and low interest have encouraged global investors with liquid assets to find new-growth-industries and new markets to invest in.
Asian Financial Market is not really outstanding either. Experiencing global financial crisis, nations in America, Europe, and Asia have faced fundamental paradigm shift in terms of their status and roles in the global world; global financial crisis provided new opportunities to Asian countries. Asian countries, disclosing and presenting their infinite potential and possibilities, have become gradually more and more influential among global financial markets. This is also why affiliations and unions organized among Asian countries are considered to be significantly important.
Investors often mention that it is difficult to predict one step ahead since global economy is quite unstable. Financial crisis in Europe has become inevitably chronic that it disturbs sound market system and even geopolitical risk is rising as a critical decisive factor.
Asia Business Daily has prepared an opportunity to forecast and learn about future economy while there are still numerous unpredictable factors in terms of global economy. This forum will provide a scene of shared and discussed knowledgeable ideas with diverse perspectives of experts from all over the world, regarding new-growth-engine-industry of Asian Financial Market.
Preeminent experts including Jeffrey Singer, Chief Executive officer of Dubai International Financial Centre Authority, Ou Yang Hui, Professor of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), and Peter Morgan, Senior Consultant for Research of Asian Development Bank Institute will participate this forum to introduce and explain about current Asian Financial Market as well as Chinese Financial Market, rising as the core market of Global Financial Market.
Additionally, the forum will present you sessions of discusses about Risk Management Techniques that has been more elaborate and Financial Consumer Protection, which is one of the most important issues. A session regarding National Pension in the Ageing Society is also planned.
