2012 Asian Financial Forum

I attended the high-profile event 2012 Asian Financial Forum this January. Every year, the Asian Financial Forum (AFF) brings together some of the most influential members of the global financial and business community to discuss developments and trends in the dynamic markets of Asia. It is always an excellent opportunity to gather the latest market intelligence and explore business opportunities in Chinese mainland and the rest of Asia.
Deloitte has been the gold sponsor of AFF for third consecutive year. This year's AFF attracted more than 2,000 participants and 400 journalists from 32 countries and regions. Attendees came to hear the latest opportunities and challenges in Asia from more than 70 internationally respected leaders in government, financial and business sectors.
The panel discussion I enjoyed the most is the one on China Opportunities.  As we know, global headwinds are expected to slow China's economic growth in 2012, opening the door to some easing in monetary policy as inflation starts to subside. A leadership transition will also be taking place.  The panelists gave us their insights on the twists and turns ahead in the nation's remarkable economic transformation. The panelists are among the most influential business leaders in the private sectors as well as government official, including Ronnie Chan, Chairman of Hang Lung Properties, Tomson Li, CEO of TCL Corporation, Cho Tak Wong, Chairman of Fuyao Class Industry Group, John Zhao, Founder and CEO of Hony Capital, Liming Yu, VP and Chief Economist of China Merchants Group, and Guangshao Tu, Vice Mayor of Shanghai.  It was very insightful to hear these business leaders' view on China's future economic growth, and their experience in running successful businesses in China.
