Is there a risk of a new global financial crisis?

Is there a risk of a new global financial crisis? 
November 28, 4:00-5:30| M-RCBG Conference Room (Belfer 503)

We will look at current tensions in global capital markets (equity, debt and Emerging Economies) and discuss whether they should be a source of broader concerns for financial stability. We will take stock of regulatory reforms that have been implemented in the last decade in the financial sector. We will debate whether new risks have appeared, especially in the asset management industry, that would warrant monitoring and / or action by Central Banks and international regulators.
