highlight the latest initiatives, developments and market standards that are essential for both banks and corporates to

improve transparency and integrity with clients and the investing public.

this one-day forum will bring together leading industry representatives, policy makers, key regulators, institutional

investors, law firms, bankers and corporate counsel for an enriching networking opportunity, and examine issues

through a series of panel discussions. to reserve your place, please contact emerald.mou@euromoneyasia.com
