About the event:
In today’s highly sophisticated world of finance, risk professionals face the incredible challenge of keeping abreast of an ever-evolving business and legal environment. With the regulatory requirements for Basel II compliance now set for January 2008, it is essential for organisations to implement risk management strategies that are leading edge.
IIR’s Risk Management Congress 2007 will help your organisation stay competitive by providing the expertise and in-depth knowledge required to position you as a leader in the financial arena.
The Special Summit Day – Managing Investment Banking Risk is dedicated to investment and corporate banks in the region, discussing ways in which to mitigate risk when entering new markets and introducing new products.
