Is the worst over - U, V or W curve? Too much government stimulus, or not enough? Too much financial regulation, or not enough? Is this the precursor to a change in the world economic order from West to East? What lessons have governments, regulators, and the business world learned? Each challenge gives rise to an opportunity. Under this theme, the Conference will bring together experts and leaders from the academic and business world to answer these questions and more; to both reflect on the recent past, and look forward, to exchange ideas, and share research findings. The Conference sessions will be wide-ranging, covering both policy and research. We invite you to join us in Osaka at ABMC in October 2010 to discuss and debate these and other related issues. ABMC 2010 has the following special themes: * Financial Regulations versus Market Discipline * Japan and the World Economy * China and the 21st Century * The Rise of India * The impact of Asian Economies on Global Business * The futures of the RMB and the Dollar * G2, G8, or G20? * How strong will the Global economy be?
