07/05/2008 - Asian economies have done much during the past decade to improve their corporate governance and to raise investor protection and confidence in their markets. But gaps between rules and practices remain. Transparency and accountability of insiders as well as enforcement are challenges for all jurisdictions.
To discuss these and other issues facing Asian regulators, investors and corporations, the OECD will host a media briefing on Tuesday 13 May 2008 at 09.30 am at the Shangri-La hotel, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China.
Participants will include:
• Marcello Bianchi, Chair OECD Steering Group on Corporate Governance;
• Edward Chow, Deputy Chairman, The Hong Kong Institute of Directors;
• Eddy Fong, Chairman, The Securities & Futures Commission;
• Wilson Fung, Vice President, HK Institute of Certified Public Accountants;
• Natalia Seng, President, HK Institute of Chartered Secretaries; and
• Fianna Jesover, OECD Corporate Affairs.
Journalists are also invited to attend the opening session of the 2008 Asian Corporate Governance Roundtable that will take place at the same venue from 9.00 to 9.30 am before the media briefing.
