Roundtable Discussion I: New Path of Economic Rebalance

Background:

The financial crisis in 2008 exposed some deep-rooted problems, such as the irrational economic structure, the unsound administration structure and the ill-placed regulatory system. In essential, the unbalanced world economy resulted in the contractual problems within each country, combined with the international currency system’s lack of flexibility and competitiveness caused that the over-all demands couldn’t digest the over-all supply, characterized by world trade and unbalanced capital at the same time. The weak demand related to the development of global partition law. The main reason triggered the contractual unbalance of the over-all supply lies in the high profit yielded from developing countries by multinational corporations in the developed countries. In the long term, only solving its own contractual problems could every country actively promote the rebalance of the world economy.

Roundtable Discussion II: Global Capital Market vs. Sluggish Economic Recovery

Background:

In 2013, the world economy will continue to recover in a rather slow pace. In this situation, multiple earnings will still be the key investment theme. Main central banks shall further quantify their slack measure, keeping low interest rate. Global investors will continue to search for other sources of earnings, which will be in favor of high risk assets such as stock, real estate investment trust and high-yield bonds. In the background of slack global currency, which assets can retain their value? How to add alternative earnings through multiple earning strategies so as to have higher yields? How to reduce the related coefficient among assets to a lower level or even below zero, which will help investors to spread potential risks? In the unpredictable financial market, how to have a clearer view of the assets and tmake the right investment?
