Time: 7:00 - 6:30pm Venue: University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada
This is a two-day event starting at 19.00 - 22.30 on 26 June and from 9.00 - 18.30 on 27 June 2013. For full details view the Banking Law Workshop programme.
Views are emerging that banks are simply too big and should be broken up so that taxpayers are not again put at risk. A former Chairman and CEO of Citibank said that “It wasn’t that one or two institutions did stupid things. It was, we all did, and the whole system came down”. As well, the former Chairman of Merrill Lynch noted that he was one of the people who led the charge to get rid of Glass-Steagall and he now regrets having done that.
Banks have increased in size and complexity and become global institutions challenging the reach of national regulators. What have we learned from the great financial crisis? What steps are policy makers taking to avoid similar events in the future? Has the risk culture of banking changed so dramatically? What is the future of financial regulation?
