The K. J. Luke Annual Symposium on Asia-Pacific Financial Markets represents an important outreach program to be initiated by the Office of the K. J. Luke Chair of International Finance and Banking. The main purpose of the Symposium Program is to narrow the gap between academic research and capital market policy formulation by integrating the academic and practitioner viewpoints on various policy issues relevant to stock/futures exchanges and market regulatory agencies in the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, the Symposium Program will strengthen the University of Hawaii’s research thrust in the Asia-Pacific financial markets.

While the initial focus of the Symposium Program will be the financial market policy issues, it may expand to include the banking sector issues.

1.  Structure of the Symposium

A one-day symposium will be organized once a year. This annual symposium will focus on selected major policy issues identified by the Board of Governors of the FIMA Research Center. Each year, leading academic researchers will be commissioned to prepare reports on financial market policy issues for the Symposium. Market regulators, senior executives of stock/futures exchanges, and academicians at the Symposium will discuss research findings.

3.  Size of the Symposium

To maximize the degree of interaction among symposium participants, the number of participants will remain small, not exceeding 100 delegates. At least one-half of the expected number of participants will register fee-exempt since they are delegates from supporting member institutions of the Symposium Program.
