BritishAmerican Business presents a CEO Briefing with:

Kenneth D. Lewis, Chairman, CEO & President, Bank of America Corporation

For the past couple of decades, it has looked more and more like increasingly complex structures of securitized assets, derivative products and other financial instruments would enable us to balance ever more effectively the global economy's need to fund growth with its need to manage risk. The housing crisis in the U.S. and the attendant turbulence in the global capital markets, however, has revealed vulnerabilities in many of the financial systems in which we put so much faith and trust.

Now, financial services firms around the world are re-evaluating their investment banking business models; investors are re-calibrating their investment strategies; regulators are taking a fresh look at the rules that govern our industry; and consumers and businesses are adjusting to a contraction of available credit and funding mechanisms. Bank of America Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth D. Lewis will discuss the impact of these events on Bank of America, its European business, and the global financial services industry as a whole.

In light of Bank of America's announcement that it will acquire Merrill Lynch and the ongoing events in the global financial markets, Mr Lewis has regretfully postponed his visit to the UK. However, we are delighted to welcome Jonathan Moulds, President EMEA & Asia – Bank of America, who will be delivering Mr Lewis’ comments in his absence.
