PSRA 2012 is Asia's most informed meeting place for central banks, commercial banks, settlement systems architects and connected payment services providers. As more and more people now work overseas with mobile phones and internet access, mobile, e-banking and newer payment technologies are seen as being powerful driving forces used to transact funds and this is what the forum will focus on. As banks, we have spent billions of dollars over the past decade developing and deploying technology that is supposed to give consumers a new way to pay for stuff, squeezing out old-fashioned cash. Yet as financial companies spend freely in a rush to the latest frontier, known as mobile payments, previous technology stumbles offer a reminder of how tough it can be to change consumer habits. Security threats are advancing and transaction costs escalating, so Indonesian banks systems must be prepared to meet the challenges of the new century. As volumes and transacted values increase, you need to update, implement and enhance your settlement systems, technologies and techniques to meet the escalating needs of your treasured customers.

18 Nov 2011 CNBC Tom Aaker is CEO, Standard Chartered Indonesia. "It gives us a terrific opportunity. Our business is split between retail banking and wholesale banking. Each of them will take great strides forward because of integration in the ASEAN community. As trade builds around the region we are in a terrific position. It's about having an open and fair trading playing field. We all can enable companies to grow here but we don't want to be disadvantaged to local banks. International banks like us have expertise. We can bring that talent and play a big role. Foreign investors have come into the country for the long-term. Standard Chartered has been in Indonesia for 148 years. If the governments reduce the ability for foreign investors to own and control banks it will make it less attractive for us. We have a very fortunate footprint. We are in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. We have been very strong, very liquid and well-capitalized, not like our European competitors. Our strategy is all about organic growth. I think at the moment the big risk is if foreign investors get very nervous generally and pull money out. That has less to do with Indonesia and more to do with their portfolios. About 6 weeks ago 10 billion dollars did flow out of the country but the central bank intervened and a lot of those dollars flowed back in."

Spain has approved major reforms to its banking sector, which has been saddled with bad loans. It has ordered banks to set aside billions of dollars as insurance against risky investments. Spain's banks were hit by billions of euros of losses after a decade-long property bubble burst in 2008. The decision comes amid latest prediction from the EU which says Spain is going to stay in recession for some time to come. Al Jazeera's Sonia Gallego reports from Madrid.
