GoldenNetworking.com Continues with Its Leaders Forums Series, with Middle East Leaders Forum and Private Equity Leaders Forum, Buying a Failed Bank

New York, NY, October 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Just a few weeks after its Middle East Leaders Forum 2009 (http://www.MiddleEastLeadersForum.com), November 20th, GoldenNetworking.com will host the Private Equity Leaders Forum 2009, "Buying a Failed Bank: Opportunities and Pitfalls" (http://www.PrivateEquityLeadersForum.com ), December 10th, both in New York City.

Middle East Leaders Forum 2009, generously sponsored by Qatar Airways, will analyze the current situation of the Middle East economies as the impact of the crisis continues to be felt. With oil prices hovering at $80 a barrel, though, the Arabian Gulf economies are well positioned to catch early the tail windy of recovery, as Simon Williams, chief economist at HSBC Middle East, said to Reuters.

Private Equity Leaders Forum 2009, "Buying a Failed Bank: Opportunities and Pitfalls", will examine the dynamic opportunities and potential pitfalls for private equity firms exploring buying a failed bank under FDIC's new regulations. Banks have been failing at alarming pace with already more failures this year than all of 2008; many small banks are being bought up by private equity groups. It seems the floodgates have opened with the loosening of regulation on private equity firms buying stakes in banks and the "piles" of uninvested capital.

Middle East Leaders Forum 2009 and Private Equity Leaders Forum 2009, "Buying a Failed Bank: Opportunities and Pitfalls", are produced by GoldenNetworking.com, the premier networking community for businessmen, entrepreneurs, professionals and diplomats, founded by Columbia Business School MBA and former McKinsey consultant Edgar Perez.
