Sri Lanka Economic Summit and CACCI Conference
Asian economies are confronted with crucial changes in international
economic and financial conditions as a result of the recent global
crisis. Renewed inflationary pressures and slackening external demand
have created new policy challenges for macroeconomic management, while
the sub-prime crisis has refocused attention on financial regulation,
supervision and reform.
The conference will focus on the current challenges faced by
economies in the Asian region |
Persistent global imbalances and the weak dollar also suggest that
global conditions will continue to complicate stabilization efforts and
threaten to magnify the consequences of policy missteps. To address
these and other critical issues, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will
hold its 11th Sri Lanka Economic Summit together with the 24th
Confederation of Asia Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI)
Conference from July 5 to 7 at the Cinnamon Grand, Colombo.
The conference will focus on the current challenges faced by
economies in the Asian region, and recommend some policy responses to
the changing conditions at home and abroad that governments,
international financial organizations and private sector participants
can adapt that will serve as crucial determinants of growth and
macroeconomic stability in Asia over the medium term.
The joint event is targeted to draw together possibly the largest
gathering of industry leaders, foreign dignitaries, leading public and
private sector decision makers, diplomats and professionals from many
spheres of the regional economy. This will present an ideal occasion for
the region to map out its growth strategy; an opportunity for progress
that we cannot afford to miss! |
