The AsianInvestor and FinanceAsia 2nd Annual Asia-Pacific Debt Investor Forum gathered Asia's leading issuers, investors and debt market professionals to examine: Asia's advantages over their global peers. How can investors avoid the hype and find the real growth stories in Asian markets? Where can investors maximise returns in the high yield space? What is driving the growth of the “dim sum” market? Which markets are at risk of hot money inflows? Which markets are most vulnerable to inflation? What hedging strategies can be employed to reduce currency risk?
