11.15am – 12.00pm   Special Ministerial Session
The world economy has shown positive signs of stabilization and recovery, but it will be achieved most likely through structurally lower growth. More importantly, global growth will be driven by several engines rather than by a single one. With better than expected economic recoveries, the economies of the Asia-Pacific region are likely to become the major driving force in the full recovery of the world economy. At this session, the Ministers will discuss how well governments manage these trade-offs, which also depend on prevailing global geopolitics and the political-economy of their respective countries.

12.00pm – 1.15pm   Panel Session I: Finding the Right Regulatory Balance - For Market Integrity and Competitiveness
The objective of regulators worldwide is to preserve the integrity of capital markets while maintaining their competitiveness. Balance is key: excessive regulation slows innovation, imposes needless costs on investors, and stifles competition and job creation. This does not mean a race to the bottom seeking to eliminate safeguards for investors in the quest to reduce costs. The right regulatory balance should combine high standards of integrity and accountability with a strong foundation for innovation, growth and competitiveness. In this session, the regulators will discuss topical issues such as whether deregulation unleashed unfettered innovation and unmitigated greed; or whether innovation adds value to the real economy or subtracts from it.

2.30pm – 4.00pm   Panel Session II: Global Economic and Financial Governance
The events of the last three years have tested the resilience of the current system of global economic governance. They have tested the rules and structures of markets, the business models and risk management systems of market participants, the preparedness and resolve of regulators and governments to preserve confidence in markets and the economy, and certainly the ability of the institutions of global governance to restore financial and economic stability. At the same time, there was unity forged in adversity, with strong support for a reform agenda which both major economic powers and emerging and smaller countries agree to manage competition and cooperation given the greater interdependencies between economies. But as the immediate threat of crisis recedes, muted growth prospects and fiscal consolidation have led to some slowing down of earlier commitments. The panel will discuss the challenges in implementing the new initiatives put forth by the Financial Stability Forum, the G20 as well as IFIs in the face of domestic and national-level pressures, as well as the real opportunities presented for more multilateralism and governance in economic decision-making.

4.15pm – 5.45pm   Panel Session III: New Dynamics of Financial Markets – Beyond the Rubicon
It is generally accepted that financial innovation has been largely responsible for the development of more liquid and more efficient capital markets and increased choices for investors. Whilst maintaining competitiveness, it is equally important to preserve the integrity of markets, a preoccupation of regulators worldwide. Financial intermediaries, on the other hand want to enhance product choices for their customers by transforming savings into innovative products. The principal challenge therefore is to strike an appropriate balance between financial openness that supports growth-enhancing innovation and sustainable growth through appropriate risk management, good sales practices, high level of self-governance and discipline.

10.00am – 11.15am   Panel Session IV: Reframing Leadership & Governance – The New Business Imperative
Who bears responsibility for the collapse of 2008? A sobering post mortem of the events in 2008-09 clearly showed that it was a collective failure, not only of financial safeguards and institutions, but of leadership at many levels. The economic meltdown could have been avoided with sound leadership, acting as stewards of their institutions. At the same time crises are excellent drivers of change because they are deep and prolonged: thus now is an excellent time for all institutions and organizations to move into positions to transform to get, and stay, on top of their game.
