The 2nd Annual Global Management Forum 2009

China and the World in the Time of Global Challenges

Year 2009 is extremely difficult for all countries across the globe. With the world economy mired in deep recession, there is a resurgence of Keynesianism. Questions are being raised about both monetary and industrial policies of different nations. China, a high-growth yet still emerging economy, thus faces comparatively high expectations of its role in restructuring the world economy. All eyes are fixed on China, at a time when the country faces some of the greatest challenges in its history: the relationship between the RMB and U.S. dollar or Euro, the gap between China’s foreign exchange reserves and America’s tremendous debt, and China’s new role on the world stage. One thing is clear: the challenges faced by China are also the challenges of the entire world.

On October 31st, 2009 (Saturday), CEIBS and CBN will invite government officials, business leaders and renowned academics to share their perspectives on restructuring in an unpredictable world - a bright future seems to be just ahead, but for now we are marching in a heavy fog.
