Shawn Baldwin, Chairman of AIA Group, joins business, policy leaders At International Monetary Fund, World Bank Group spring meetings

CHICAGO, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Shawn Baldwin, global investments advisor and Chairman of AIA Group, joined business, government and policy leaders from around the world at the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group April 14-19 in Washington, D.C.

The invitation-only conference brings together central bankers, ministers of finance and development, private sector executives and academics to discuss ways to boost economic growth and foster a sustainable, balanced and jobs-rich global economy.

Baldwin joined industry heavyweights including IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, former Federal Reserve Chairmen Paul Volcker and Ben Bernanke, and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Topics ranged from growth beyond commodities, the benefits and drawbacks of low oil prices and global development to environmental economics and sustainability.

"As we go forward two key factors in monetary policy will drive capital markets: quantitative easing by the European Central Bank led by Mario Draghi, along with interest rate increases at the Federal Reserve Market by Chair Janet Yellen," Baldwin said. "Both are critical to the global economy as we shift into the new investing paradigm."

The AIA Group is an advisory and investment firm that specializes in the foreign exchange, derivatives and commodities markets. The IMF brings all the relevant players to the table with a focus on eradicating poverty and ensuring prosperity is shared.

Baldwin has provided trading, advisory, research and investment banking services to pension funds, foundations, endowments and corporations. Learn more about AIA at www.aiafunds.com.
