Monday, June 10, 2013 – Tuesday, June 11, 2013
San Francisco, CA
The ongoing reform of banking and financial regulations remains a global concern given systemic weaknesses highlighted by the 2008 financial crisis. While these international regulatory standards impact global systemically-important financial institutions (G-SIFIs), regional and local issues must be taken into account during the implementation of the reform agenda. In particular, Asian economies and financial institutions, which in many cases were not as adversely affected by the crisis, have different risk profiles than other global institutions.
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF) hosted a symposium of experts to explore the evolving changes to the regulatory landscape. Participants in the dialogue included central bankers and regulators, financial institutions, market participants and academics. Discussion topics encompassed emerging regulatory standards, implementation challenges, expected improvements and unintentional consequences, and nuances relevant to Asia. The symposium was conducted under “Chatham House rules,” and a brief report of the discussion will be published soon.
