Emmanuel Daniel, the President and CEO of The Asian Banker, was in London for a series of in-house and public speaking engagements.
Using this moot point as the framework, Emmanuel will profile the following:
- trends in the internationalisation of Asian banks today;
- where Asian banks are today in terms of operations, business, technology and risk configurations;
- Asian responses to global initiatives such as Basel II and the Financial Stability Board;
- the ability of Asian businesses in general to build regional and global models;
- the place for Asian financial institutions in a global scenario of banking players in the next 10 years.
This public lecture was organised by The Financial Services Club.
“Avoiding the Icelandic crisis: The checks and balances in Asia's banking system today”
In this presentation, Emmanuel will be using the factors that led up to the Icelandic banking crisis to identify:
- The features of the macro data indicators (monetary, fiscal and banking) of key Asian economies today;
- the regulatory, policy and industry construct of key banking systems
- the ability of key Asian economies to respond to inflationary, currency and external challenges
- the ambitions of selected domestic financial institutions
- Factors that can trigger a similar crisis in emerging markets, specifically in Asia, today
This public lecture was organised jointly by PRIMIA and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA).
