The New Financial Landscape: a Western Perspective
Co-organized by the HKUST-NYU Stern MS in Global Finance Program and AmCham China
Signs of the economic slowdown begin to be felt across Europe after the recent financial unrest. Is the lingering effect going to impact the US economy which is still struggling to gain momentum, while the China economy is getting cool?
Prof Luc Henrard, Chief Risk Officer and Member of the Management Board of BGL BNP Paribas in Luxembourg, will share his views and observations on the recent happenings in Europe. During the seminar, Prof Henrard will discuss the following issues:
- is the "universal bank" model challenged?
- shadow banking: what does it really mean?
- how can Foreign Banks be profitable in Greater China?
- can Chinese Banks be successful outside of Greater China?
- the winners and the losers
