Conference Overview

The event will look at a wide variety of factors, including the development of the Asian markets, the ramifications of the credit crunch, the investment strategies being employed and the integration of Asian investors into the global marketplace. Questions to be posed include:

• To what extent has the credit crunch affected Asian markets? Are the Asian markets "decoupling" from the US and European markets?
  
• How will Hong Kong retain its position as one of the most successful financial centres in Asia in the face of increased competition from Shanghai and Singapore?
  
• Government-owned investment institutions are becoming increasingly prevalent, with countries such as China estimated to have accumulated reserves totalling over USD1 trillion. What is the effect on the markets of their investment strategies?
  
• Should China and Singapore seek to harmonize or converge their rules and regulations with the United States and Europe?
