  2010 Asian Financial Forum  
     
  Hong Kong will host the third annual Asian Financial Forum, bringing together delegates from around the world to discuss the future of Asia's economy.

The event – titled "Asia in the New Economic Order" - takes place on January 20 and 21 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
 
     
  China-related topics will headline the Asian Financial Forum 2010, including the mainland's domestic market and its implications for the global economy, as well as the renminbi and what it means for the world’s financial order.

Global investment opportunities, regional infrastructure and energy and natural resources concerns will also be in the spotlight.

The inaugural Asian Financial Forum, a day-long event in September 2007, attracted more than 800 delegates, from global institutional investors to financial services institutions and major corporations. Focused on the Asian financial market, the event reinforced Hong Kong's status as an international financial services centre.

More than 1,100 delegates from 28 countries and regions, including nearly 300 from the Chinese mainland, took part in the January 2009 Asian Financial Forum. Delegates from the United States, Russia and the European Union, as well as new markets in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, also attended the two-day event. Delegates also included Australian companies such as ANZ, Westpac, IPAC, Macquarie Bank and National Institute of Accountants of Australia.

Registrations to attend The 2010 Asian Financial Forum are open and a 30% discount on the US$800 fee applies to all registrations before the end of November. Go to www.asianfinancialforum.com for more details.

The Asian Financial Forum is organised by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and follows a recent successful seminar in Sydney promoting retail funds management.

'Hong Kong – Australia: The Future for Funds Management in Asia – Pacific' took place on September 28, highlighting a 2008 bilateral agreement that allows the sale of retails funds to investors in Hong Kong and Australia.

Organised jointly by Invest Hong Kong, Think Global Consulting, Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Sydney Office, the seminar also explored the capacity for Australian retail funds to be offered to retail investors in Hong Kong, including approved Mainland retail investors, and access to a market of more than 200 million people.
