9.15 am | 토론: 서구 또는 아시아 혹은 글로벌 모델? · 아시아의 중앙 은행들은 신용 팽창과 자산 버블을 통제하도록 고안된 ‘거시 건전성(macro-prudential)’ 조치에 관한 오랜 경험을 보유하고 있습니다. 이런 경험으로부터 얻을 수 있는 교훈은 무엇인가? · 유럽의 규제 기관들은 자국 은행에게 자본금 확충 또는 자산 감축을 강요하고 있습니다. 규제 기관들은 더 많은 인내와 관용을 보여야 할 것인가? 은행에 대한 엄격한 규제가 금융 위기를 해소할 수 있는 유일한 방법인가? 그렇지 않으면 오히려 상황을 더욱 악화시킬 것인가? · 은행의 자본 및 유동성에 관한 새로운 Basel 3 규제가 2013년에 발효될 예정입니다. 새로운 규제는 아시아 은행에 적절한 것인가? 아시아 은행들의 준비 상태는 어떠한가? 스티븐 래키(Steve Lackey), BNY Mellon 아태지역 총괄 회장 |

| 토론: 과거의 한국, 지금의 중국 중국은 이웃 국가들의 지난 역경의 경험을 통해서 자신이 앞으로 나아갈 방향에 대해 배울 기회를 가지고 있습니다. 낙관주의자들은 중국을 고속 성장기가 몇 년 더 남아 있던 한국과 비교하는 반면 비관주의자들은 중국을 성장이 둔화되었을 때의 한국과 비교합니다. · 중국이 한국의 발전 경험을 통해 얻을 수 있는 교훈은 무엇인가? · 중국식 자본주의는 1970년대와 1980년대 한국의 성장 모델과 유사한가? · 과거에는 세계 최대 경제를 가진 국가들이 역시 가장 부유한 국가에 속했지만, 중국은 예외적이다. 이러한 점이 국제 금융 시스템을 어떻게 변화시킬 것이라 예상되는가? 마이클 스펜서(Michael Spencer), Deutsche Bank 아시아지역 수석 이코노미스트 사회자: |

| 다음 단계는? 유로존이 벼랑 끝에서 비틀거리고 있는 한편, 미국의 경제 회복은 소위 "재정 절벽(fiscal cliff)"이라 불리는 세금 인상과 지출 삭감으로 인해 위협을 받고 있습니다. 또한, 새로운 규제법이 시행되면서 무리한 경영을 하던 일부 금융 기관의 몸사리기가 시작되면서 금융 환경은 더욱 빠르게 변화하고 있습니다. 이 시간에는 글로벌 금융의 최근 전개 상황과 한국에 시사하는 바를 살펴볼 것입니다. 클라우스 레글링(Klaus Regling), 유럽재정안정기금(EFSF) CEO (룩셈부르크와 실시간 비디오 링크) 사회자: |

Is getting tough on the banks the only way to solve a financial crisis—or does it only make things worse? · New Basel 3 rules on bank capital and liquidity will start coming into force in 2013.

2.40 pm | What if…? This session will set aside conventional wisdom and cosy, consensus forecasts to ask some "what ifs". It will examine some low-probability, high-impact scenarios, both good and bad. The question for the panellists is not "Will this scenario happen?" It is: "What would be the consequences if it did?" These are not outcomes anyone necessarily expects, but they are things for which people should nonetheless prepare. The kinds of scenarios that may be considered include: · What if…Greece leaves the Euro? · What if…the yen, euro or dollar plunges against the won? · What if...a new personal debt/credit card crisis hits Korea? Speakers: Moderator: | |
3.20 pm | Briefing: Economist Intelligence Unit The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducted the Government E-Payments Adoption Ranking study to understand advancements in adoption of e-payments by governments around the world.

Key findings and implications for Korea will be presented. Charles Goddard, Editorial Director, Asia-Pacific, Economist Intelligence Unit | |
3.30 pm | Networking break | |
| What’s next? The euro area is teetering on the edge of a precipice. Meanwhile America's recovery is threatened by a so-called "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts. Deeper shifts are also taking place in the financial landscape, as new regulations roll out, and some overstretched financial institutions pull back. This session will examine the latest global developments and the implications for Korea. Speakers: | |
