There is a wealth of opportunities for banks and supporting businesses that want to succeed in the financial services industry in China. But banks interested to build operations in China have to adapt their business strategies to the changing environment.
With its sound understanding of the Chinese market and unique access to key players in the banking community in China, The Asian Banker has designed a strategic review retreat for senior executives of financial institutions in the Greater China region to determine the opportunities available to them.
Some of the key issues that will be addressed at the retreat include:
| • |
How will the Chinese economy play out over the next 12-18 months? What does this mean for the financial services industry in China? |
| • |
What have the foreign banks in China learnt so far in terms of market access and acceptance? |
| • |
How does one make sense of the multi-tier market structure in the Chinese banking sector, encompassing mega state-owned banks, national joint-stock banks, city commercial banks, rural credit cooperatives and a myriad of others? |
| • |
What is the profile of the credit market in China today, including its market concentration |
| • |
What are the opportunities for the under-served segments? |
| • |
How will the Chinese capital market pan out and what can one expect the government to do in the near to mid-term? |
| • |
How can financial institutions develop relationships with the various regulators? |
| • |
What are some of the opportunities and potential pitfalls of the mergers and acquisitions space in China today? |
| • |
Is the Chinese market really insulated from the aftermath of the global credit crisis? |
A myriad of industry leaders equipped with the first hand knowledge tested by the market will share the unique lessons applicable to the fast transforming financial service market in China. It is a one off opportunity to hold a intimate dialogue with prominent practitioners in the frontier of strategic partnership, risk management, customer acquisition, regulatory policies and cast a clarity to a hidden shortcut to the most promising market where global players are all scheming to start a full access.
The Agenda is very focused on answering questions that are specific to your decision making needs for 2009. I trust that you will find this an excellent opportunity to share and test ideas with your peers. As seats are limited to ensure the quality of the exchange and registration is on first-come-first-served basis, I encourage you to register now.
Accommodation information is available with the Westin Hotel. If you have any questions, Please do not hesitate to contact me at pniu@theasianbanker.com or Ms. Julia Zhu at tel +86 10 5869-3492 or jzhu@theasianbanker.com.
