After the events in financial markets during 2007 and 2008, the subject of financial regulation is being discussed widely. Some policy analysts believe that the crash was caused by lax regulation and that oversight of financial institutions needs to be strengthened and extended to hitherto less-regulated areas. Others see a need for better regulation rather than more regulation. The case can also be made that financial regulators had wide discretionary powers; that aspects of regulation exacerbated the crash and that regulators generally were behind the curve—as such, more regulation cannot be the solution.




Our distinguished Panellists will discuss alternative approaches to financial regulation in the wake of the crash.
