Credit Suisse calls off Hong Kong meet over coronavirus outbreak

The event was originally scheduled on 25-27 March.

Credit Suisse has cancelled its annual Asia conference next month, citing concerns over the continued spread of the coronavirus, Bloomberg reported.

It had planned to hold the meet at Hong Kong’s Conrad Hotel on 25-27 March.

This is said to be the biggest cancellation in the city’s financial sector since the coronavirus outbreak. The annual Fund Managers’, Asian Bankers’, and Brokers’ Awards slated later this month have also been moved to March, according to a representative of the organiser.

Fitch Ratings’ Credit Outlook 2020 Conference scheduled for 11 February has been scrapped and will be held through live webinars instead.

In addition, the AVCJ China Forum set in Beijing for mid-March has been postponed until September, a spokesperson said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
