About the seminar:

Over the last century, the volume of world trade is growing at an average rate of 6%. Asia among the all geographic regions has been engaged in a major transformation and has become an investment destination of choice. With the rise in Foreign Investment, the role of emerging countries have suddenly increased as the destination and origin of capital flows and thereby inviting more and more cross border investors to invest their money in these emerging markets.
With investors investing in cross border markets from all over the world, private equity is playing an increasingly significant role in the global economy. Though countries with a growing economy are challenging markets, PE is very nascent in these emerging markets and the nations continue to draw international and regional private equity investors’ interest, offering both exciting rewards along with complicated risks. With the rapidly changing regulatory environment globally and complex tax policies, the private equity investments in the emerging markets are faced with significant challenges.
