| 8:10am | Registration |
| 8.45am | Opening remarks The chairperson will give brief scene-setting remarks for the day’s discussions. Henry Tricks, Tokyo Bureau Chief, The Economist |
9.15am | On the global financial landscape This session focuses on recent developments and what’s ahead in the global and Asian financial landscape with implications for Japan.
|
| 9.55am | Western, Asian or global? Competing models of financial regulation and central banking Since the financial crisis, the world has shifted from an era of deregulation to a new era of reregulation. The role of the monetary and financial authorities has become more expansive, more intrusive—in many ways, more Asian. If Asian regulation is on the right course, what can the rest of the world learn to avoid another crisis?
Henny Sender, Chief Correspondent, International Finance, Financial Times Subir Lall, Assistant Director, European Department, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Naoyuki Yoshino, Professor of Economics, Keio University Moderator: Simon Cox, Asia Economics Editor, The Economist |
| 10.50am | Networking break |
| 11.20am | China insight—state of play? A Japanese economist once compared Asia’s economies to a flock of geese, flying in formation: Japan led the way; other Asian economies fanned out behind it. China has the opportunity to learn from Japan’s own flight path. Optimists compare China with Japan in the 1970s, when it still had ten to 20 years of rapid growth ahead of it. Pessimists liken China to Japan in the 1980s, a few years before its bubble burst. The session will evaluate China’s economy, as well as the status of China’s market. Is the business climate becoming warmer for Japan’s financial institutions? What are the risks and opportunities the current state presents?
