'Sri Lanka's Economic Prospects and Challenges':

ICASL CEO Forum

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) has organized CEO Forum to be held on November 4 from 7.30 am onwards at Hotel Galadari.

The title of this forum would be 'Sri Lanka's Economic Prospects and Challenges; Positioning for Global Recovery in 2010 and beyond'. The most pivotal sessions of this forum would be conducted by RAM Holdings Malaysia Group Chief Economist Dr. Yeah Kim Leng. The focal point of this gathering would be to discuss in depth the economic challenges that we as a country and as a continent are confronting as a result of the global financial slump. The ways and means in which we should counter financial threats would be carefully articulated by the speaker who has immense exposure in the field of finance and economy.

This forum would draw special emphasis on the financial crisis which occurred in the late 1990s amongst ASEAN countries and how those nations successfully repulsed its threat; the strategies one should be equipped with to face financial irregularities while maintaining a good relationship with investors and shareholders would be discussed.
