|11:15 - 12:30 |From G8 to G20: New Architecture, New Rules, New Players |
| |(Sofitel Hotel, Oriental Theatre, 1st Floor) |
| |The rise of emerging economies has put an end to the dominance of G8 in global economy and given birth to a |
| |new grouping – G20. G20 means far more than a mere inclusion of 12 new members. It marks a major departure |
| |from the status quo. People look forward to seeing a greater role by emerging economies and a new set of |
| |rules on global governance. In this session, heads of key international organizations, central bankers, |
| |economists and business leaders will share their thoughts on how the new architecture will evolve and its |
| |implications for the world economy. |

| |Gerry GRIMSTONE, Chairman, Standard Life |
|11:15 - 12:30 |Rethinking Growth |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |Export-led growth models have proven vulnerable. Environment and resource restraints condemn heavy pollution |
| |and high energy/resource consumption. Asia must change its growth paths, though the transformation will |
| |inevitably be a protracted and painstaking process. Do governments have the political will and vision to make|
| |bold changes? Are there any successful examples to follow? How to manage the transition? What policies are |
| |expected from the government? How should companies adjust their strategies accordingly? |
| |Moderator: RUI Chenggang, Director & Anchor, China Central Television |

|12:45 - 14:15 |Luncheon Session: Trade Protectionism – A Real Threat to Recovery |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom C&D) |
| |Reassurance made at the G20 Summit are not enough to dispel concerns about the steady rise of trade |
| |protectionism; sentiments of economic nationalism has compelled governments to take short-sighted trade |
| |measures, which have posed a real threat to a fragile global recovery. The Doha Round, however, remains |
| |ineffective. Does global trade liberalization still have a future? What can be done to curb trade |
| |protectionism? Are regional bilateral and multi-lateral trade agreements a viable alternative reducing trade |
| |protectionism? |
| |Moderator: Victor FUNG, Chairman, International Chamber of Commerce; Chairman, the Li & Fung Group |

|14:30 - 15:45 |Merger & Acquisition: Ideal vs. Reality |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |For Asian companies attempting to “go out”, cheap and lucrative deals seem to be everywhere. However, the |
| |complexity and uncertainty of overseas M&A often results in a number of failures. Primarily, companies must |
| |fully understand the target enterprise, the legal and social circumstances and possible political barriers. |
| |Equally important, but often ignored, are post-M&A problems such as corporate cultural differences, |
| |management team frictions, trade union conflicts, community relations and environmental requirements. What |
| |experiences and lessons can be learned from those who have tested the water? |

|14:30 - 15:45 |Counter-Cyclical Strategies: Thinking Ahead |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B) |
| |To survive volatile economic cycles and grow in adversity, entrepreneurs must think ahead with vision, good |
| |judgement and nerve. In good times, level-headedness is a necessity to curb impulse buying and irresponsible |
| |expansion. In bad times, visionary leaders are not subdued by fear or pessimism. By retaining and recruiting |
| |talents, increasing R&D and innovation input and sensible M&A, they sow the seeds for future growth and |
| |excellence. In this session, CEOs and economists will share their experiences and expertise on |
| |counter-cyclical strategies. |

|16:00 - 17:15 |Low-Carbon Energy: Can Asia Lead the World? |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |Despite robust growth, Asian economies are mostly seen as latecomers or challengers in traditional |
| |industries. The financial crisis and global policies on climate change have forced Asia into painstaking |
| |restructuring and transformation. Beyond the pain, however, those with vision do see a rare opportunity for |
| |Asia to lead the world – low carbon energy. Will it have as revolutionary an impact on the economy as the |
| |Internet? Is Asia well-placed in this field? What are the technological, market and policy restraints? Do |
| |governments have any short- and long-term solutions? Will Green Recovery be a real choice for Asia to emerge |
| |out of the crisis as the front runner? |
| |Moderator: Thomas CRAMPTON, Asia Pacific Director, 360 Digital Influence, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide |

|16:00 - 17:15 |Move to Consumption – Asian Style |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B) |
| |Low consumption levels have been a problem in Asia, which partly explains why Asian economies depend heavily |
| |on exports to Europe and the US and why “decoupling” from the financial crisis is not possible. Thrift is |
| |often cited. However, Asian consumers hesitate to spend for other reasons, too. What are the structural |
| |factors that subdue Asian consumption? What can be done to stimulate domestic demand? Environment and |
| |resource pressures mean that Asians can not spend the American way. How different will the consumption |
| |behavior of Asians be? |
| |Moderator: Yansong BAI, Anchor, China Central Television |
| |Panelists: FAN Gang, President, National Economic Research Institute, China |
| |CHEN Zhi Wu, Professor of Finance, Yale School of Management |

| |Stephen KEHOE, Vice President, PepsiCo |
|17:30 - 18:45 |Business Environment: Nothing as Usual after the Crisis? |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |It’s no longer “Business As Usual”. As governments and economists reexamine the health of their national |
| |economies, CEOs are struggling to understand what all this mean to their businesses. To what extent is the |
| |business environment different from the pre-crisis days, from both macro and micro perspectives? Where are |
| |the risks? Are there opportunities? What are the suggestions for CEOs? |
| |Moderator: XIANG Bing, Founding Dean, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business |
| |Panelists: Michael TRESCHOW, Chairman, Ericsson |
| |CHEN Feng, Chairman, HNA Group |
| |Harsh Pati SINGHANIA, Managing Director, J K Paper Ltd, India |

| |ZHANG Ya-Qin, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Corporation |
|17:30 - 18:45 |Deregulation: Unleashing the Power of the Private Sector |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B) |
| |Unprecedented stimulus packages have brought governments back to prominence in economy. However, this does |
| |not diminish the importance of the private sector for employment, tax and sustainability of economic growth. |
| |Particularly as Asia transforms, the private sector has a larger role to play in sustaining investments and |
| |stimulating domestic consumption. To release the power of the private sector, governments must allow them |
| |greater access to banking, telecommunications, petro-chemical industries, education and healthcare, and |
| |ensure that private enterprises and capital play on a level field with their state-owned counterparts. |
| |Deregulation is the key. |

|21:00 – 22:30 |Redefine the Role of Real Estate |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |The Asian economy is facing challenges in restructuring and sustaining growth. How can the real estate |
| |industry redefine its role in such a transformation? Will the stimulus packages create another property |
| |bubble even before the economy gets back on track? Will exorbitant housing prices compromise consumption |
| |elsewhere, burden companies with increasing costs and reduce the competitiveness of a city? How should the |
| |housing market reform live up to people’s expectations of affordable housing? |

Sunday, April 11
|07:30 – 09:00 |Breakfast Session: Alternative Investments in Asia |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Peacock I) |
| |(Invitation Only) |
| |As the economic crisis swept the global financial markets, sovereign wealth funds were negatively affected |
| |strongly, with many of them reporting heavy portfolio value declines, particularly relative to their |
| |investments in financial services companies. While CIC had only invested in a few financial services |
| |companies, their value decline nevertheless impacted CIC’s overall portfolio returns, even though most of |
| |CIC’s portfolio was invested in short-term, liquid instruments as CIC was just getting organized. As a |
| |result, at the end of 2008, CIC’s overall performance was in the upper quartile vs. most SWFs. As the crisis |
| |began to subside in early 2009, CIC became an active global investor. Dr. Gao Xiqing will discuss the impact |
| |of the financial crisis on CIC, lessons learned and how it has impacted investment plans and strategy going |
| |forward. He will also discuss CIC commitment to transparency in reporting and provide his thoughts on the |
| |global investment climate. |
| |Moderator: WANG Boming, Chairman, the Stock Exchange Executive Council |
| |Speaker: GAO Xiqing, President, China Investment Corporation |

| |(Invitation Only) |
|09:00 – 10:15 |Beyond Chiang Mai Initiative: Regional Financial Cooperation in Asia |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |Regional financial cooperation in Asia was not taken seriously until the 1997 Financial Storm hit. CMI and |
| |the “ASEAN plus 3” forex reserve pool mark a big step in the right direction. Meanwhile, the IMF is |
| |reinventing itself to become more effective and influential whereas the EU is preparing the proposal of a |
| |European Monetary Fund. Against such a backdrop, what’s next for Asia’s regional financial cooperation? Do |
| |governments have the political will and institutional plans to broaden and deepen regional financial |
| |cooperation? The panel is expected to provide some innovative ideas. |

|09:00 – 10:15 |Emerging Markets: Time to Turn to One another |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B) |
| |Emerging economies do not necessarily have to “look west” for inspiration, experience and powerful markets. |
| |They have much to learn from one another, and much to gain from trade and investment amongst themselves. This|
| |session is designed to compare growth paths, competitiveness, weaknesses and the potential of major emerging |
| |economies, and explore the prospect of Intra-Emerging-Markets cooperation. |
| |Moderator: Jason DEAN, China Business Editor, Wall Street Journal |

|10:30 - 11:45 |21st Century Finance, 21st Century Regulation |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A) |
| |21st century Finance, 20th Century Regulation. Global flow of capital is not matched by global regulation. |
| |The World Financial Organization (WFO) is not even mentioned much, let alone play a major role similar to the|
| |WTO. High hopes have been placed on the Financial Stability Board and the IMF. Can they do the job |
| |effectively? What reforms are necessary? What shall the 21st Century regulation be like? Which risks may |
| |disrupt the financial system if not properly handled? Are we ready for them in terms of early warning, |
| |safeguard and response mechanism? |
| |Moderator: Stephen ENGLE, Reporter, Bloomberg Television |

|10:30 - 11:45 |Corporate Governance: Learning Lessons from the Crisis |
| |(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B) |
| |Poor corporate governance is partly blamed for the crisis. Well-established governance structures, principles|
| |and practices in the US have been questioned. Asia, used to turning to the West for enlightenment, may need |
| |to think for itself about ownership structures, board compositions, executive compensation and incentive |
| |schemes. |

(ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom C&D)
| |Government and business leaders of both countries have come to appreciate the importance of cooperation. As a|
| |result, trade has grown substantially. Meanwhile, there is a level of healthy competition between the two |
| |countries and business communities – particularly in the quest for energy to fuel their economies. How |
| |expansive can the mutual trade become? What will be the level of cooperation in technology development, |
| |particularly clean tech and IT? Can the two economies learn from each other and cooperate in areas such as |
| |China expanding domestic consumption and IT and India improving infrastructure and manufacturing capacity? |
| |How will Chin and India work together as Asia continues to become a significant part of the global economy, |
| |and as two key representatives of the developing world? |

| |Preparations for the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) across the Taiwan Straits are underway |
| |in an increasing pace, as both sides share the goal of trying to sign it before the mid-year. What |
| |opportunities will the signing of the Agreement present to economic growth and sector-wise cooperation across|
| |the Taiwan Straits? How can both sides strengthen cooperation and achieve win-win? Business leaders across |
| |the Straits will sit down to examine the opportunities and prospect of cooperation with the ECFA coming into |

| |(Sofitel Hotel, Oriental Theatre, 1st Floor) |
| |While the world pins its hopes on Asia to lead the way for a global recovery, the region’s fundamentals |
| |remain a source of concern for policymakers and corporations alike. The pressures of change have highlighted |
| |Asia’s dilemma in walking the tightrope between prudence and growth. In times of crisis, public support |
| |measures have given a much necessary boost to domestic needs but as the tide turns, issues like inflation and|
| |asset bubbles have surfaced, posing new challenges and risks to tackle. This TV debate will explore whether |
| |Asia is ready to stand on its own feet, its ability to adapt successfully to a new growth model less reliant |
| |on the buying power of the West and a closer look at the steps needed to pave the way to a stable economic |
| |landscape for Asia’s future. |

| |model of Shanghai, Tokyo and New York be sustained? How to ease the tension between urbanization and |
