SEMINAR OVERVIEW & PROGRAMME

This one-day high impact meeting offers you and your organisation fresh insights into specific and current topics from our panel of distinguished speakers.

Session 1
How Slow Can We Grow?: World Economy in 2013
The latest growth numbers are decelerating not only in Europe but in the US and China as well. At the same time, there is renewed tension on public spending, deficits and debt levels of several EU countries and its possible spread across the globe
With a new government in some of the major economies, what concerted political and economic effort can be taken?

Session 2
Year of the “Big Squeeze”?: Malaysia in 2013
Can public spending be reduced in 2013 and the private sector takes over thereby preventing a severe economic contraction? Would the on-going global economy continue to weigh on Malaysia’s growth performance? What is the limit of the government’s policy to handle another crisis?

Session 3
Doing Business in Myanmar
What do Malaysian businesses have to be aware of when first entering the Myanmar market? What are the relevant government policies and regulations to investors? What is the real cost of doing business in Myanmar?

Session 4
Malaysia’s New FTAs: How Businesses Benefit
The purpose of this session is to understand the main provisions of the agreements (FTAs & Trans-Pacific Partnership), including the Dispute Settlement Mechanism and the Rules of Origin. The focus of discussion will be on services, intellectual properties, government procurement and other key sectors that will most likely benefit the Malaysian business community.

Session 5
Political Outlook: What Now?
This session will examine the political situation in Malaysia’s state of leadership, the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat’s respective policies and manifestos. If the 13th General Election has been held, this session will analyse the election outcomes and the implications for the various political stakeholders. If the 13GE has not yet been held, the session will evaluate the prospects for both sides of the divide in forming the new federal and state governments.
