Global Financial Forum Venue: TBD, New York Description:
Building a New Financial Order
The financial crisis has impacted the global economy in ways we never could have imagined, and the fallout has yet to be contained. Governments have taken steps to relaunch economic growth and stabilize the financial sector, but they must also reflect carefully on public sentiment toward banks and keep government deficits under control.
Join BritishAmerican Business, Chatham House, and the Foreign Policy Association as we explore these and other top-of-mind issues in our Global Financial Forum, titled Building a New Financial Order. This exclusive event brings together the world's leading policymakers, regulators, and financiers to examine how proposed regulatory measures will impact financial markets in the near- and long-term. These experts will also offer their outlook on the future state of the financial services industry and the global economy as a whole. Sessions will touch on the following questions:
What is necessary to create a new, more stable global financial order and how far will global cooperation extend?
Will new financial regulatory rules contain excessive risk-taking? If so, what are the downsides? Will more rule-making invite more gaming?
What are the implications of government intervention and guarantees for future economic growth?
To what extent is it possible to prevent future financial crises, or are crises too deeply rooted in human behavior?
