Kyoto Conference - November 4

Can Asia Save the World Economy?

Since the ?Lehman Shock?, the world economy has been in a state of depression, and the Japanese economy has suffered from a strong yen, low stock prices, and high unemployment rates. The U.S.-Japan Research Institute, an APP member, hosts an international symposium commemorating the APEC forum being held in Japan. Speakers, from private companies and universities both in and outside Japan will discuss the the Asia-Pacific region and propose solutions for improving their economies.
