Maximizing Returns And Minimizing Risks In Rapid-Growth ASEAN Economies
Ocampo & Suralvo Law Offices, Consortium Resources Ltd., and DFDL will be hosting the conference, “Maximizing Returns and Minimizing Risks in Rapid-Growth ASEAN Economies” at Fairmont Makati on 2 March 2016.
The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank forecast that most ASEAN economies will continue their high growth trajectories in 2016 and beyond. The Philippines, for example, is projected to grow by 6.3% in 2016. Other ASEAN states are also seen to enjoy high GDP growth: Myanmar 8.2%, Vietnam 6.6%, Cambodia 7.2%, Laos 7% and Indonesia 5.4%. Opportunities abound in ASEAN.
Mr. Eduardo V. Francisco of BDO Capital and Investment Corporation will be the keynote speaker.
The succeeding presentations by experts from Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam will focus on the challenges of the regulatory landscape in these countries. There will also be a presentation highlighting the unique characteristics of project finance transactions in the Mekong region (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam).
Conference attendees will then be given an opportunity to learn more about managing political risks when investing in emerging markets.
The presentations will be followed by a round table discussion on how political, economic, financial, regulatory and even cultural factors impact investment decisions in ASEAN’s rapid-growth economies.
Speakers and round table participants include:
- Eduardo V. Francisco, President, BDO Capital and Investment Corporation
- Jude Ocampo, Partner, Ocampo & Suralvo Law Offices
- Giovanni Vacchelli, Managing Director, Consortium Resources Ltd. Hong Kong, a MIGA Partner Company
