SUERF/ICFR Conference "Future Risks and Fragilities for Financial Stability"

The regulatory response to any crisis tends to set the parameters for the next crisis and the aim of this full day conference is to focus on where the next pressure points for financial stability might arise and how the industry and the regulators can prepare for them. The recent Bank of England Systemic Risk Survey pointed out that the perceived priorities for the regulators are indeed changing, and the EU has embarked on a project which will report later in 2012 on bank structure and risk and what lessons have been learned in the last three years. The conference, organised jointly by the ICFR and SUERF, therefore is very timely and will be well placed to address these key issues which will impact financial markets in the coming years. The core themes of the conference will include: incentives and market discipline; regulation, competition and shadow banking; and size and structure of business models.
