Agenda of the Emerging Markets Forum

Venue: InterContinental Hotel, Ballroom B
10:15 - 10:45 Keynote Addess
David Bicchetti, Economic Affairs Officer, UNCTAD  
10:45 – 12:00 Roundtable Discussion 1: The Influence of Governments Mandating Products to be Traded Through the Exchange - Is This the Way Forward for Exchanges?
As many emerging exchanges compete for their existence in the open markets, a trend that is evolving is the position of governments mandating that certain commodities only be traded through the exchange leaving market participants no other alternative. Is this practice sustainable and should more countries adopt this approach?

13:40 – 14:45 Roundtable Discussion 2: Should Newer Exchanges Collaborate with Established Markets? If So, How?
With recent news like ICE acquiring SMX, HKEx acquiring LME, Eurex tied up with TAIFEX, CME acquiring 25% of Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, bigger exchanges are finding ways to penetrate new markets and smaller local exchanges are opening themselves for strategic collaboration, the question will be: Is this the way forward? Who benefits from this collaboration? What are the possible downsides of working so closely with a larger exchange? Is there an optimal model to be followed? What kind of models are already out there?
