07:30 – 09:00 Breakfast Session: Alternative Investments in Asia

(ICC, Level 1, Peacock I)

(Invitation Only)

As the economic crisis swept the global financial markets, sovereign wealth funds were negatively affected strongly, with many of them reporting heavy portfolio value declines, particularly relative to their investments in financial services companies. While CIC had only invested in a few financial services companies, their value decline nevertheless impacted CIC’s overall portfolio returns, even though most of CIC’s portfolio was invested in short-term, liquid instruments as CIC was just getting organized. As a result, at the end of 2008, CIC’s overall performance was in the upper quartile vs. most SWFs. As the crisis began to subside in early 2009, CIC became an active global investor. Dr. Gao Xiqing will discuss the impact of the financial crisis on CIC, lessons learned and how it has impacted investment plans and strategy going forward. He will also discuss CIC commitment to transparency in reporting and provide his thoughts on the global investment climate.

09:00 – 10:15 Beyond Chiang Mai Initiative: Regional Financial Cooperation in Asia

(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A)

Regional financial cooperation in Asia was not taken seriously until the 1997 Financial Storm hit. CMI and the “ASEAN plus 3” forex reserve pool mark a big step in the right direction. Meanwhile, the IMF is reinventing itself to become more effective and influential whereas the EU is preparing the proposal of a European Monetary Fund. Against such a backdrop, what’s next for Asia’s regional financial cooperation? Do governments have the political will and institutional plans to broaden and deepen regional financial cooperation? The panel is expected to provide some innovative ideas.

(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A)

21st century Finance, 20th Century Regulation. Global flow of capital is not matched by global regulation. The World Financial Organization (WFO) is not even mentioned much, let alone play a major role similar to the WTO. High hopes have been placed on the Financial Stability Board and the IMF. Can they do the job effectively? What reforms are necessary? What shall the 21st Century regulation be like? Which risks may disrupt the financial system if not properly handled? Are we ready for them in terms of early warning, safeguard and response mechanism?

(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B)

(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom C&D)

Government and business leaders of both countries have come to appreciate the importance of cooperation. As a result, trade has grown substantially. Meanwhile, there is a level of healthy competition between the two countries and business communities – particularly in the quest for energy to fuel their economies. How expansive can the mutual trade become? What will be the level of cooperation in technology development, particularly clean tech and IT? Can the two economies learn from each other and cooperate in areas such as China expanding domestic consumption and IT and India improving infrastructure and manufacturing capacity? How will Chin and India work together as Asia continues to become a significant part of the global economy, and as two key representatives of the developing world?

(Sofitel Hotel, Oriental Theatre, 1st Floor)

While the world pins its hopes on Asia to lead the way for a global recovery, the region’s fundamentals remain a source of concern for policymakers and corporations alike. The pressures of change have highlighted Asia’s dilemma in walking the tightrope between prudence and growth. In times of crisis, public support measures have given a much necessary boost to domestic needs but as the tide turns, issues like inflation and asset bubbles have surfaced, posing new challenges and risks to tackle. This TV debate will explore whether Asia is ready to stand on its own feet, its ability to adapt successfully to a new growth model less reliant on the buying power of the West and a closer look at the steps needed to pave the way to a stable economic landscape for Asia’s future.
