Asia Insurance Forum

The highly aggressive insurance industry is one where competition is stiff. The market for insurance is very dominant in Indonesia and South East Asia. This conference grants the opportunity to learn about Risk Management, for which increasing capitalisation is a must-have when dealing with high risk exposures in the industry, especially in the current volatile climate. Considering the regulation by the Ministry of Finance in Indonesia for all insurers to increase capitalisation by 2010, this conference is of paramount importance. It will prepare and thrust insurance companies and banks into the right direction; penetrating new markets, engaging in strategic joint partnerships and how they act as a distribution channel.

It also talks about the mastery of branding and repositioning to create a positive perception in the eyes and minds of customers. Developing and sustaining efficient operational procedures which are essential is also covered, which will bring tremendous value to delegates. This conference is timely and is an exuberant opportunity to participate with world-class companies and gain insights as they discuss and share their invaluable experiences.

15th - 16th January 2009

Credit Risk Management

The increasing number of regulations and the growing sophistication of new financial products and instruments, such as credit derivatives, have led to financial institutions sleepwalking into complex environments of silo-based processes and risk systems. Furthermore, the recent credit crisis, coupled with high profile operational and business losses have pushed governance, risk and compliance further up the agenda for many boards. The traditional silo-based 'box-ticking' approach to risk management is no longer valid. (Chartis Research Ltd 2008).

Credit Risk Management seeks to explore what is driving the market and where the future opportunities lie. This event aims to address the current situation, key drivers, structural issues; latest developments & updates in best practices in credit risk management. This event will provide you with strategic information to take control of managing capital at risk rather than be subject to the swings of the conventional market.
