Bringing together the leading minds in the Asian financial markets
Asia Risk magazine was delighted to welcome 500+ of the leading minds in the Asian financial markets to our 7th annual Asia Risk Congress, our flagship event for risk managers and investors in the Asia-Pacific region.
The 2011 Congress was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong and kicked off with a pre-conference seminar on 24 October led by Jon Gregory, a Partner at SOLUM FINANCIAL. The seminar focused on Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) strategies and methodologies for Asian institutions, encompassing the history of CVA and exploring in-depth pricing methodologies and uses.
The main conference was held on 25 October and featured two keynote addresses which discussed the impact of Basel reforms from the perspectives of Marc Saidenberg, Senior Vice President of the Bank Supervision Group from THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK and Luo Ping, Director General from CHINA BANKING REGULATORY COMMISSION.
The programme then split into two streams themed "Getting to Grips with Regulatory Developments" and "Managing your Investment Risk". Both sessions were well attended and featured leading regional speakers debating topical issues such as the key elements of the Dodd-Frank act, impact of RMB internationalization, the role of CCPs in OTC derivatives trading, among others.
The day closed with two thought provoking Chief Risk Officer round table discussions featuring regional CROs from top insurance companies and regional banks analyzing strategies for coping with emerging regulatory changes and debating the evolving role of the CRO in the post-crisis regulatory regime.
On behalf of the Asia Risk team, I would to thank our sponsors, speakers, delegates and partners whose insight and involvement was pivotal to the formation and success of the event.
I hope that you all found it a truly insightful, memorable and enjoyable experience and look forward to welcoming you again in 2012.
Kind regards,
