Greenspan and Giuliani

Greenspan and Giuliani are fielding questions over the development of Asian capital markets this month:

As keynote speakers at the inaugural FT Asian Financial Centres Summit in Seoul, Dr Alan Greenspan, former US Federal Reserve chairman, and Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of New York and currently chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLP, will answer readers’ questions - selected by FT editors - about what criteria must be met and regulatory challenges overcome in creating world-class financial centres.

Send your questions for either Dr Greenspan or Mr Giuliani to ask@ft.com. Dr Greenspan’s answers will be published on FT.com on Wednesday April 12 at 9am GMT. Mr Giuliani’s answers will be published on FT.com on Wednesday April 12 at 12pm GMT. Both sets of questions and answers will be available at www.ft.com/financialcentres

Answers will certainly be interesting, though one can't help but feel the subject matter is a little bit of a sidetrack from the really pertinent issue, a matter both would be equally qualified to discuss: how and to what extent the United States is likely to co-operate with inevitable changes in the regulatory and financial legislature in the Far East.
