IACPM collaborated with the Risk Management Institute of the National University of Singapore on their Fifth Annual Policy Forum.   The conference theme was “Global Imbalances and Their Risk Management Implications”, and the event which took place on July 6-7, 2011, drew over 300 delegates from banks and financial institutions, central banks, regulatory agencies, and academia.  This is the third year that IACPM has worked with RMI on the Policy Forum and this year’s event was the largest to-date.

Policy Forum topics included an economic outlook presented by keynote speaker, Martin Feldstein and a CRO panel discussion with Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, DBS and China International Capital Corporation.  IACPM’s panel topics included:   Stress Testing and Capital Adequacy; and Building Markets for Distribution.
