Asia continues to be the key
driver of global economic growth
According to the 2008
Asia-Pacific Markets Outlook published by Standard & Poor's,
despite global uncertainty and a slowing US economy, the 2008
outlook for Asian countries is bright, with China continuing to be a
key driver for growth. China's significant momentum, due mainly to
domestic demand, will continue, with a solid double-digit growth
forecast. Hong Kong's growth will continue to benefit from strong
economic development in China, with a projected GDP growth of
5.0%-5.5%. Asia looks set to continue to be the key driver
of global economic growth.
To capitalise on Asia's solid growth
potential and against the backdrop of a changing risk landscape and
the increasingly tight regulatory environment, financial
institutions need to employ cutting-edge technology and innovative
practices to gain and protect their leading edge. In this highly
competitive global financial market, firms strive to deliver better
customer experiences, increase customer loyalty and profitability,
lower operating costs, and better manage compliance and risk, all of
which can be achieved only using strategic business IT.
