Sibos 2009 Big Issue Debate: The Asian Century Part 1 of 2

As the global economic crisis continues to evolve, interest in the role of Asia remains strong, not just within the region but also from around the world. Will Asia be a driver for recovery -- or will its focus shift inward to deal with national and regional economic pressures? What does this mean in terms of opportunities for the financial sector? Despite slowing growth overall, where does expansion or investment make sense and what risks should an Asia strategy take into account? Senior thought-leaders from the financial, corporate and public sectors think about the promise of Asia and what should be done to ensure that the Asian century fulfils its promise.

Panellists:

- Dominic Barton, Worldwide Managing Director, McKinsey & Company
- Dr. Ranee Jayamaha, Advisor to the President on Banking, President Secretariat, Central Bank of Sri Lanka
- David Pilling, Editor, Financial Times, Asia
- Huiman Yi, Vice President, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)
