ASX, JSX to hold seminar

JAKARTA (JP): The Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and the
Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) will cosponsor a one-day seminar to
be held at the JSX building Thursday.

The Australian Embassy said in a statement yesterday that the
seminar would focus on providing practical advice to corporate
managers on how to deal with the funding and human resources
problems caused by the rupiah's sharp depreciation against the
U.S. dollar and the imposition of the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) reforms.

The seminar will feature leading figures from Australia and
Indonesia including Australian risk advisor Martin Brown of
Coppers & Lybrand in Sydney, Cliff Rees of Price Waterhouse in
Jakarta, and Erry Hardjapamekas, senior executive of PT Timah.

Other speakers include Professor Bob Nicole of Melbourne
University and Kevin Evans of ANZ Investment Bank in Jakarta.

The chairman of the country's Capital Market Supervisory
Agency (Bapepam) I Putu Gede Ary Suta is expected to deliver a
key note address at the seminar. (aly)
