In addition, they will focus on the impact of new technologies on the industry business model, and the growing role of sustainable investment strategies. 10:00 am 10:30 am KEYNOTE REMARKS 10:35 am 11:25 am GLOBAL ECONOMY AND MARKETS OUTLOOK Recent months have taken the discussion of the global economy increasingly away from synchronized growth in the direction of desynchronization. This session will discuss this phenomenon, against the backdrop of weaker indicators in Europe, increasing market turbulence in emerging markets, and potential for more trade tensions looking forward. This panel will debate the global growth picture, risks and potential for policy makers to help bolster and smooth the outlook. 11:15 am 11:45 am KEYNOTE REMARKS 11:45 am 12:30 pm VIEWS FROM THE C-SUITE: ASIA OUTLOOK This session provides the perspectives of senior financial executives operating in Asia. The panelists will discuss the challenges and opportunities amid the Federal Reserve increase in rates, trade uncertainty, China s Belt & Road initiative, regional cooperation, and rise of financial technology.

2 12:30 pm 1:55 pm LUNCH: IN CONVERSATION 2:00 pm 2:45 pm GLOBAL FINANCIAL REGULATION: AVOIDING FRAGMENTATION, ASSESSING IMPACT AND ADDRESSING NEW CHALLENGES This panel will analyze the evolution of the global financial regulatory agenda, taking stock on the accomplishment of G20 policy goals and emerging new policy challenges and priorities. What regulatory priorities remain to be achieved? What emerging risks need to be addressed and is the regulatory framework suited for them? Have we achieved a full understanding of regulatory impact on the economy and potential unintended consequences? 2:45 pm 3:30 pm G3 MONETARY POLICY: WHERE ARE WE ON THE PATH TO NORMALIZATION, AND WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES FACING OTHER CENTRAL BANKS? The Federal Reserve is well on the path to normalization, having now hiked rates six times and continuing to pursue balance sheet roll-off. At the same time, market volatility has picked up substantially, not least in emerging markets where there seems to be growing fallout from the move to higher global interest rates. This panel will discuss the outlook for further policy normalization, factoring in the fact that underlying inflation in the Euro zone and Japan remains very low (and certainly below ECB and BoJ inflation forecasts). 3:30 pm 4:00 pm KEYNOTE REMARKS 4:00 pm 4:50 pm CAPITAL FLOWS TO EMERGING MARKETS-RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES With the U.S. Federal Reserve continuing to tighten monetary policy and global trade tensions on the rise, the outlook for capital flows to EM has become significantly more uncertain. This session will look at emerging markets vulnerabilities and risks ahead, but also at opportunities including moves to open China s financial markets and financial market deepening, particularly in EM Asia. 4:45 pm 5:30 pm GLOBAL TRADE: NAVIGATING THE TIDES OF PROTECTIONISM As the U.S. takes a more unilateral, protectionist stance on trade issues, the risk of escalation in trade frictions and disruption to supply chains has risen. While many other countries and regional groupings are looking to bolster support for a global approach to trade, the task is challenging. This panel will look at the implications of changing U.S. trade policies, progress being made elsewhere, and the overall outlook for world trade.

3 5:30 pm 6:15 pm DEBT AND DEMOGRAPHICS Almost a decade after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, global debt continues to hit new record highs. With little progress on deleveraging to date, what are the implications of rising global rates, particularly for highly leveraged borrowers? This panel will focus on the implications of adverse debt and demographic dynamics, both for policymakers and for financial markets. 6:30 pm 8:00 pm NETWORKING RECEPTION

4 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13 8:00 am 9:00 am REGISTRATION AND REFRESHMENTS 9:00 am 9:45 am VIEWS FROM C-SUITE: INNOVATION Digital transformation and innovation have moved to the top of the agenda in the C-Suite. Keeping pace in a data and AI driven marketplace, changing customer demands, and charting a course through partnerships and new competition are some of the challenges financial service leaders are grappling with for the future of finance. 9:45 am 10:30 am REGULATING DIGITAL FINANCE: ENSURING A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD With the emergence of new entrants, the traditional boundaries between sectors are fading, presenting new challenges for regulatory and supervisory frameworks that have previously been sector-specific. This can give rise to anomalies and asymmetries between competing firms with the potential for market distortions, and presenting new challenges for how policymakers and officials supervise the financial system, as well as, for how firms respond. 10:30 am 11:00 am KEYNOTE CONVERSATION 11:00 am 11:45 am THE FUTURE OF ASIAN DIGITAL FINANCE There is a diverse and vibrant landscape of new developments in digital finance across Asia as institutions harness new technologies and channels to transform services and reach new customer segments. It is also a region where a handful of new big tech entrants have achieved astounding growth and are demonstrating the power of scale and data in the new digital economy. This panel will explore new developments and trends across the region as we look at where the market is headed next. 11:45 am 12:30 pm REGTECH TO RISKTECH: INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES IN MANAGING RISK RegTech has presented opportunities for banks and insurers to managing their regulatory compliance requirements, but the opportunities presented by innovative technologies extend beyond compliance, with ways for firms to manage risk more effectively. These opportunities, leveraging technologies such as machine learning and distributed ledger, enable a more efficient and agile Risk Management function, as well as, to keep pace with faster channels for customer fulfillment. These technologies can also bring new challenges for organizations to overcome, and there can be substantial barriers to their effective adoption.

This session will look at ways to overcome these barriers, as well as, initiatives underway help bridge the sustainable infrastructure financing gap. 2:45 pm 3:15 pm KEYNOTE REMARKS 3:15 pm 3:45 pm KEYNOTE REMARKS 3:45 pm 4:15 pm KEYNOTE REMARKS
