Panel Discussion on China Opportunities
| |
| China’s new leaders need to make some tough choices as they attempt to maintain healthy GDP growth while keeping a lid on property prices and inflation. As China's rapid urbanisation continues apace, can the central government stimulate domestic demand sufficiently to make up for diminished exports? How effective is pumping capital into infrastructure investment? And what will be the fate of Chinese enterprises bidding to extend their global reach? |

Breakfast Panel: Long Term Capital Markets:
Financing Asia's Greying and Growing
| |
| Asia as a region has been experiencing rapid growth over the last decade and economists predict the need for trillions of dollars to finance continued expansion. At the same time, Asia is witnessing rapidly aging societies and are still evolving in their social protection systems. Can the two challenges of funding growth and funding retirement be met? How does the financial system have to evolve to meet both of these needs? |

What opportunities and risks does this sector present for entrepreneurs and potential investors? |

| A new agenda for deepening reforms in China’s financial system in the next five years was revealed in the report of the 18th National Congress of the CPC, including: building a modern financial system that promotes macroeconomic stability and supports the real economy; developing a multi-tier capital market; steadily advancing market-oriented interest-rate and exchange-rate reforms; and gradually realising capital account convertibility. In this session, influential policy makers and top financiers will debate the timeframe and roadmap of China’s financial reforms in the next 10 years and the challenges for China to embrace the global financial system. |

| Private Wealth Management |
The Asia-Pacific region represents an attractive wealth market, with only a small portion of the population’s liquid assets professionally managed. But with the cost of growth weighing heavily on already pressured revenues, profitability is not guaranteed. This workshop will look at the market environment of the wealth management and private banking sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities for banking hubs such as Hong Kong and Singapore, access to onshore pools of wealth in places like China and Taiwan, increased capital requirements, the talent shortage, and licensing and regulations that impact the way firms do business.
In addition, the panel offers a unique chance for individual and business investors to gain strategic investment advice for a successful long-term portfolio by understanding the risks and opportunities that will be carried into 2013 or may be on the horizon. Following significant geopolitical change in 2012 and economic turbulence the experts will share their views on the asset classes, sectors and regions that they believe show the best performance over the next few years. |

Organisers:

Hong Kong Monetary Authority
Hong Kong Trade Development Council
Chinese authorities have been liberalising the use of RMB for cross-border transactions since 2009. To date, there has been notable progress, with some 9% of China’s trade with the rest of the world being settled in RMB. Against this background, Hong Kong is expanding its role as the premier offshore RMB business centre, providing a comprehensive, one-stop platform for conducting a full range of RMB transactions, from trade settlement, financing to wealth management. This workshop reviews the latest trends in the Hong Kong offshore RMB market and the business opportunities available for corporates and financial institutions. |

| Lessons Learned in Vietnam and Cambodia for Investing in Myanmar |
| Myanmar is the latest hot investment destination among frontier markets. The level of excitement, debate and activity is similar to that in Vietnam some 15 years ago, and in some Cambodian industries over the past five years. But early entrants into Vietnam and Cambodia faced great difficulties in navigating newly opened market economies, and expensive lessons had to be learned. These lessons, which the panel will discuss in detail, can be applied to mitigate risks as investors rush into Myanmar. |
