Banking Colloquium 2012
Vision Sharing Conference on
Survival and growth in uncertain times
0930 Hrs: 14 September 2012 : Taj Bengal, Kolkata
The financial crisis that hit the world economy in October 2008 continues to keep the world on the brink. The sovereign debt crisis in several European countries in the euro zone has serious implications. The Indian economy is also passing through difficult times. The exchange rate of the rupee, the commercial banks’ NPA levels, India's growth rate, the negative growth of trade, rising corruption and the policy paralysis are all causes for worry. During these trying times, the industries are looking at the country’s Central Bank and the commercial banking system for suitable measures and direction to offer some silver lining.
Against this backdrop, CII Eastern Region is organising its 5th Banking Colloquium 2012 on 14 September 2012 at Taj Bengal, Kolkata. The colloquium will have an Inaugural Session on Policy Dimension and CMDs and CEOs Roundtable on Banking – Industry partnerships for surviving in uncertain times and technical sessions on Innovation in banking, Microfinance & Financial Inclusion: Challenges and Way Forward, Forex Risk Management and Managing Asset Quality while Corporate Debt Restructuring on Rise.
