New York, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - RGE Monitor.com (RGE), a global economic and financial analysis firm founded by world-renowned economist Dr. Nouriel Roubini, announced today that it has opened an office in Hong Kong, building on the company's growing success in the Asia-Pacific region.
This is RGE's first on-the-ground presence in Asia, and will allow it to better service clients in the region, including a variety of hedge funds, investment commercial banks, asset managers, universities and central banks.
To date, RGE has covered Asia Pacific from its headquarters in New York City, but in response to growing demand and the reality of an increasingly integrated global economy, opening a regional office was the logical decision.
"We are very excited to be expanding into Asia," notes Roubini. "The region has recovered from the Asian financial crisis and taken its place at the forefront of global growth. The linkages between Asia and the rest of the world continue to grow and while it will not remain immune from the current economic meltdown, we are confident of its long-term growth potential."
The Hong Kong office is the latest development in RGE's exceptional growth over the past 12 months and will be followed shortly by the opening of its European office in London. On May 7, RGE Monitor will hold its launch event in Hong Kong at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Those interested in attending should contact Neil Ripley at Dukas Public Relations.
In addition to the new office, RGE also announced the appointment of a new Regional Director -- Douglas A. Jaffe. Mr. Jaffe is the former Asia Pacific Research Director at Financial Insights, an IDC Company and has spent more than 13 years in Asia in various capacities.
"This expansion reflects the growing importance of Asia as a financial and economic power," Jaffe says. "This office will allow us to better serve our clients and respond to growing demand for insightful, ahead-of-the-curve analysis on the global economy. We are also very pleased to be in Hong Kong, which remains the financial hub of Asia and an exciting, business-friendly environment."
RGE offers economic analysis and financial insights for business strategists, analysts, investors and policy makers. RGE's team of economists and analysts evaluate the global markets to deliver fast insights and condensed overviews to the world's leading financial professionals. It produces cutting edge analysis that sets the standard for the global economy. The firm's prescience in predicting the current sub-prime crisis was validated in a seminal piece by Professor Roubini entitled "The Rising Risk of a Systemic Financial Meltdown: The Twelve Steps to Financial Disaster."
