Power and Influence

Asiamoney's inaugural list of the 100 most powerful and influential people in business and finance throughout the Asia-Pacific highlights the individuals who are driving economic and, consequently, social change in the region. Some have fought their way to the top of major corporations, some have founded their own firms while others have invested and bought wisely. Yet all have one thing in common: their actions affect the region's economies, its business environment and the people who live here. Leigh Powell reports.
