PRMIA NEWSNews and information from industry's higher standard in risk associations. July 02, 2009 PRMIA's New Chinese Exams Introduced at 2009 Financial Risk Management Forum in ChinaOn Sunday, June 28th, the 2009 Financial Risk Management Forum co-organized by Institute of Finance & Banking of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and TEHUA Post-Doctoral Research Station and sponsored by PRMIA and the Prming Education Counseling Corporation in China (PECC) was held at the Academic Report Hall of CASS in Beijing. The theme of this forum was "Financial Crisis and Financial Risk Management". Present at the forum were current and former officials and experts from regulatory bodies, professors and scholars from universities and other institutes of learning, and representatives from Chinese financial associations and banks. With speakers from Chinese regulators, state and academic bodies and local banks, heated discussions were held on how to strengthen risk management in China against the backdrop of the global financial crisis. China protected itself well against the 1997 Asian financial crisis and now needs to ensure it emerges from the current crisis in a strong state. Risk management, long ignored by many financial institutions, grows in importance and the studying financial risk management theories and practices, as well as experience and cases with regard to the prevention of financial risks, and enhancing risk management awareness and abilities of practitioners has become an important and urgent topic for China's financial industry. This forum also introduced PRMIA's new Chinese exams and its committee of local experts and is a milestone in our introduction of international risk management experience into China.
