In the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, a citizenry stricken with evaporating 401Ks and dashed retirement hopes demands an effective and speedy remedy from the incoming administration. The outgoing administration has been charged with reckless deregulation and promoting Wall Street’s scandalous affair with financial “innovation,” which led to excessive risk-taking and ultimately, financial market paralysis. Some of the tools left behind by the Bush administration during its ad hoc attempts to thwart financial disaster include a $700 billion bailout package, huge cash injections into some of the country's top financial institutions, large-scale commercial paper purchases to unclog credit markets and lowered interest rates. How will the new team use existing initiatives, and what new tools will they reach for to answer the economic expectations of the American people? Our experts offer domestic and international perspectives on ways to combat the suspicion and fear that threaten to drag the developed world’s economies into further decline.<br /> <br /> <strong>Panelists:<br /> Bruce Kasman</strong>, Chief Economist & Global Head of Economic Research, J.P. Morgan, Inc.<br /> <strong>Shiro Katsufuji</strong>, Chief Economist, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.<br /> <strong>Vincent Reinhart</strong>, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute<br /> <br /> <strong>Agenda:</strong><br /> 12-12:30 pm Registration & reception <br /> 12:30-1 Luncheon<br /> 1-2:30 Panel discussion <br /> <br /> <strong>Admission: </strong>Corporate members are entitled to a designated number of free admissions to this event, based on their company's current membership level.

The United States has selected its leader for the next four years. In addition to affecting America’s relations with foreign countries and altering the course for myriad domestic issues, the choice of a new president will have a profound influence on Asia’s financial markets. Our panel of experts will examine how stock markets across the region have reacted to the selection of President Barack Obama and how Asian firms have adjusted their investments in the United States. In addition, our panelists explore the possibility for broader cooperation among U.S. and Asian policy-makers as they seek to address global economic challenges. Finally, as the direction of U.S. financial policy changes to reflect the priorities of the new administration, the group discusses the relative likelihood of certain global market changes over the next four years.<br /> <br /> <strong>Panelists:<br /> Alicia Ogawa</strong>, Director of the Program on Alternative Investments; Associate Director for Program Development, Center on Japanese Economy and Business, Columbia Business School<br /> <strong>David Resler</strong>, Managing Director & Chief Economist, Nomura Securities International, Inc.<br /> <br /> <strong>Moderator: <br /> Leslie Norton</strong>, Foreign Editor, Asia, Barron’s<br /> <strong><br /> AGENDA:</strong><br /> 6-6:30 pm Registration & reception <br /> 6:30 – 7:30 Panel discussion<br /> 7:30 – 9 Reception<br /> <br /> <strong>Admission:</strong> This is a free event open to the public, but you must pre-register for the program.
