Since the global financial crisis, a number of regulatory policies have been discussed, proposed and sometimes implemented to address shortcomings in the regulatory framework. These include capital and liquidity regulation (notably via Basel III), developments in cross border bank resolution, macro-prudential policies and the issue of “too-big-to-fail”.
With contributions from some of the world’s leading authorities on regulation, this conference will provide a critical overview of alternative measures and ask whether we are any closer to a financial system that is both appropriately stable and efficient in fulfilling its functions to the wider economy.
