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 Kongˇ¦s growth will continue to benefit from strong economic development in China, with a projected GDP growth of 5.0%-5.5%. Other major Asian cities, including Taiwan and Singapore, will also continue to grow, with a solid GDP rate above 4.0% and 5.0%, respectively. 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.
