TMF Group’s Global Director for Business Development Jochum Haakma has received a special VIP invitation to participate at the second EU Asia Top Economist Round Table in Dublin this week (24 May).
Asia Matters is an independent, not for profit, political think tank with a mission to further EU-Asia interaction and relations through key events and online and offline communications, as well as to promote equal partnership engagement in the governmental, business, educational, cultural and tourism sectors.
The second Top Economist round table is being held in Dublin during Ireland's EU presidency, before going to Tokyo, Japan, in September 2013. TMF Group Dublin Managing Director, Ronan Reilly, will be attending along with Mr Haakma to discuss trade implications for the European economies as part of this year’s theme.
They will be joined by several EU ambassadors, as well as Pier Carlo Padoan from OECD Paris, John Moran from the Department of Finance in Ireland and Hidehiro Yokoo, who is President of Japan External Trade Organisation. There is also private sector representation from blue chip corporates with global interests.
