The Most Significant Annual Gathering of Decision Makers in Financial Services
The Asian Banker Summit, now in its eighth year, is the pre-eminent gathering of decision makers in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific.
The Asian Banker Summit has convened annually since 2000 and is Asia’s foremost event on transformational issues in the financial services industry. Over the last eight years, the Summit has both reflected and grown with the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific. As issues in the industry have grown more complex each year, the discussions at the Summit have also become more sophisticated and incisive.

We had the following ten powerful events packed into an intensive four days:

Who Attended?
Each year, about 500 CEOs, chairmen, executive vice presidents and other senior executives from financial institutions, as well as senior regulators, analysts and investors, gather at the Summit to discuss issues that are transforming the industry today.
Over the last eight years, the Summit has matured into an influential community of leaders in financial services from across the region. Today, the Summit is owned and driven by the industry, and is the only global dialogue of its kind held in the Asia Pacific.
To facilitate a rich learning experience, the eighth Summit will feature three concurrent anchor conferences focusing on critical industry issues:
| 1. The InterBank Conference on Cash, Trade & Treasury |
As global trade, international capital flows and other cross-border transactions continue to accelerate, Asia’s need for financial services with a global reach is growing at an unprecedented pace. There is an intensifying demand for world-class facilities in trade finance, payments, treasury and cash management and these developments are dramatically altering the “financial institutions business” within banks.
Three main forces are at the heart of this fundamental shift: The corporate end users’ evolving requirements, technological advancements and global financial institutions’ initiative to offer increasingly sophisticated services via partnerships with domestic banks in Asia.
The InterBank Conference on Cash, Trade & Treasury brings together these three elements in what participants describe as “Asia’s very own Sibos”.
The agenda has also been expanded into two concurrent streams

| 2. The Risk Management & Governance Conference |
At this stage of its maturity, risk management plays a significant role in the profitability and success of a financial institution’s business. And as the practice of risk management advances, the senior practitioners who gather at the Summit each year are seeking ideas and techniques that can give their financial institutions the leading edge in an intensely competitive marketplace.
To broaden and deepen the risk management discussions at the eighth summit, we have created concurrent sessions focusing on credit, market and operational risk. Each is designed for incisive examinations of issues the industry considers as salient, from a practical viewpoint. We are also placing emphasis on the need for reforms in regulation kamagra uk. The risk-related discussions in 2007 will be aligned according to two main themes:
