Institutional Investors Roundtable

Green Shoots of Recovery - Prospects for Asia in the New Economy

3 May 2010 (2:00 pm - 3:30 pm)

Financial markets worldwide are emerging from the recent economic and financial crisis. Developing Asia - the fastest growing major region in the world since the turn of the century - has continued to prove its resilience and ability to outpace the global average by a wide margin.

Will Asia continue to outperform the rest of the world? With the US consumer in trouble, can Asia sustain its export-led growth? What are the immediate and long term-challenges ahead? Where will the most attractive sectors emerge for long term investments? These and many other questions will be addressed in this seminar.

The Investors Roundtable will provide an opportunity to get in-depth market perceptions and analyses from leading experts actively involved in economies emerging from the crisis. A panel of distinguished speakers will discuss the prospects for Asia in the current global economic environment and present their investment insights. Participants will be able to share their perspectives with the speakers during the question and answer session that follows.
