Ripples in the Asian Pond

In the wake of market turmoil: An investigation of regulatory developments in APAC

In the Asian Regulation Survey 2009 published by Allen & Overy and Complinet, Asian Governments and regulators are grappling with what at present appears to be the fall-out from the market turmoil. With another possible market downturn lurking ahead, we examine the various bail-outs and stimulus packages that have washed through the international system and key issues for risk and compliance professionals.

Please join Alan Ewins, Head of Asian Financial Services for international law firm Allen & Overy and Trond Vagen, Complinet Senior Editor for an in-depth discussion and look into the how the global market reforms are affecting, and will continue to influence, Asian regulation. They will focus on answering:

  • How extensive is the G20 ripple effect in Asia? Will it have future implications?
  • What are the major regulatory developments in the Asian markets?
  • What are the key risk and compliance issues for market players?
