Following the global financial crisis, great attention has been paid to the macro-prudential dimension of financial regulation.

Macro-prudential regulation will go beyond the past focus on the soundness of individual institutions, and incorporate macroeconomic and systemic implications of financial regulation.

The Economic Forum, chaired by the Financial Counsellor of the IMF, will feature four experts who have been shaping the evolving discussion on macro-prudential regulation.

Join us for a discussion of these questions and related issues with a panel of experts.
