Maria 2 & 3) THEME: ASIA PACIFIC: CATALYST TO GLOBAL RECOVERY As the global economy wobbles due to the impact of the European debt crisis and the continued weakness in the US market, the Asia-Pacific region, particularly Southeast Asia, is showing resilience and is expected to benefit further from a commodity boom, greater foreign investment and government-driven investment in infrastructure projects. The Conference will provide a platform for CACCI members and invited experts to exchange views on measures that the business sector and governments in the region can undertake, amidst a global slowdown, to help sustain growth and enable the Asia-Pacific region to play a catalytic role in the global recovery. 09:00-10:00 Opening Ceremony - Introductory Remarks by Mr. Jose Ng, Chairman, Organizing Committee, 27 th CACCI Conference Welcome Remarks by Mr. Prudencio Gesta, President of Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry - Welcome Remarks by Atty.

Yujuico, President of the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce & Industry - Welcome Remarks by Mrs. Agnes Magpale, Acting Governor of the Province of Cebu (Invited) - Welcome Remarks by Hon. Michael L. Rama, Mayor of Cebu City (Invited)
3 10:00-10:20 Coffee Break - Introduction of the Special Guest of Honour by Mr. Edgardo G. Lacson, Honorary Chairman, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry Address by Special Guest of Honour H. E. Benigno Aquino III, President of the Republic of the Philippines (Invited) Presentation of Plaque of Appreciation to Special Guest of Honour 10:30-11:30 Session One: The Euro Debt Crisis and its Implications for Asian Business The European debt crisis is expected to bring about an economic fallout among Asian countries. However, the intensity of the impact will vary across countries in the region, depending on the current state of their economies. Asian countries that rely most heavily on trade are likely to see some slowdown. Economies that rely on international bank finance and investment also will feel the pinch. Others have deep government pockets that provide a buffer to economic shocks. This session will examine the implications for Asian business of the Euro debt crisis; the policy measures taken by advanced economies; the policy steps that Asian governments need to take to mitigate the impact of the Euro crisis on the real sector; and what strategies can businesses adopt to cope with the challenges presented by the Euro crisis and take advantage of the opportunities arising from it. - Dr. Jim Walker, Founder and Managing Director, Asianomics Limited - Mr. Bryan Clark, Director, Trade and International Affairs, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry 11:30-12:30 Session Two: Sustainable Energy Resources and Food Security Food insecurity and environmental degradation threaten to destabilize global, regional, and national economic and ecological conditions. It is therefore important to create a world where every person has economic and physical access to sufficient food to sustain a healthy and productive life, and where food originates from efficient, effective, and low-cost food and agricultural systems that are compatible with sustainable use and management of natural resources. This session will identify the challenges to assuring food security and sustainable use of energy resources, how these challenges can be overcome, what are the priority actions to be taken by relevant parties (individuals, households, local communities, civil society, private sector, national governments and the international community) in terms of changing behaviour, priorities and policies. Speakers will be invited to share best practices, case studies and experiences. Invited Speakers: - Secretary Carlos Jericho L. Petilla, Department of Energy, Republic of the Philippines - Mr. Bindu N. Lohani, Vice President for Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development, Asian Development Bank
4 12:30 14:00 Lunch - Mr. Pradeep Kumar Shrestha, Vice Chairman, CACCI Executive Committee; Former President, Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce & Industry 14:00 15:00 Session Three: The Impact of Bilateral Agreements on Regional Trade and Investments Bilateral trade and investment agreements are among a number of means available to governments to reduce trade and investment barriers in other countries and to promote regional integration. The proliferation of bilateral agreements has helped to fill the gap in a multilateral trade process that is impeded by the impasse of negotiations in the World Trade Organization. At the same time, the development of bilateral agreements has discouraged some states from engaging in multilateral negotiations. This session will examine the impact of bilateral agreements on multilateral commerce in general, and on regional trade and investments in particular: Have bilateral agreements advanced multilateral commercial relations? Have they added value to or detracted from the perceived demands of multilateral trade and investment? - Mr. K K Modi, Past President-FICCI, President Emeritus-CACCI and Chairman, Modi Enterprises. - Mr. Bryan Clark, Director, Trade and International Affairs, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry - Prof. Shandre M. Thangavelu, National University of Singapore - Mr. Tariq Sayeed, Vice President, CACCI; Former President, Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry 15:00-16:00 Session Four: The Role of Women and Youth in Economic Development Economic and social development require the participation of all human resources, and enhancing the economic role of women and youth will contribute to the development of the whole society. Women and youth can play a more important role in the world economy in bettering economic and social conditions if their considerable potential is realized. This session will feature speakers who will share their perspectives on programmes and policy measures that can enhance the economic productivity of women and youth, thereby promoting their role in the development process, increasing economic efficiency and growth, contributing to family welfare, reducing poverty, easing pressure on the environment, and checking population growth. - Dr. Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Secretary, United Nations Economic and Social
5 Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP) - Begum Salma Ahmed Shah, President, Pakistan Association of Women Entrepreneurs - Mr. Sujeewa Suranga Palliyaguruge, Managing Director, Senani Holding Invited Session Chairperson/Moderator: - Mrs. Mukta Nandini Jain, Member, CACCI Executive Committee; Chairperson, CACCI Women Entrepreneurs Council 16:00 16:15 Coffee Break 16:15 17:30 Session Five: Trade and Investment Opportunities in the Philippines and in Cebu The Philippines is a country that provides plenty of trade and investment opportunities. Aside from its strategic location in Asia, the country has a growing consumer market. With a population estimated at nearly 100 million and an annual population growth rate of around 2.2%, the Philippines offers a large domestic market base for consumer goods and a growing market for infrastructure services and facilities. Add to that a competent and highly-educated labor force, with the Filipino workers being recognized as one of the best in the world: efficient, highlytrainable, sophisticated, and competitive. Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines, with Cebu City as the main center of commerce, trade, education and industry About 80% of the country's domestic shipping is located in Cebu. Its extensive international port facilities, its proximity to intra-asian shipping and air routes are major factors which have led many multinational companies to establish offices in the island. This session will take a closer look at the trade and investment opportunities in the Philippines and in Cebu, and examine why the country is attracting a lot of investors, making it a business hotspot and one of the flavors of the year among the Asian markets this year. Invited Speakers: - Hon. Cesar V. Purisima, Secretary, Department of Finance, Republic of the Philippines - Mr. Joel Mari Yu, Managing Director, Cebu Investment and Promotions Center - Mr. Geronimo Sta. Ana, Past President, Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Member of the Board of Governors, Board of Investments, Republic of the Philippines 19:00 Gala Dinner Special Guest of Honour: H.E.
