New York – September 16, 2013 – The Clearing House, the Financial Markets Group and the Systemic Risk Centre at the London School of Economics will host an on-the-record conference on September 17 that will explore the major financial regulatory and structural reform initiatives underway and oncoming in the U.S., UK, and EU. Entitled The Global Reform of Financial Regulation and Architecture: How to Balance Safety and Efficiency, the conference will assemble leading regulators and thought leaders in the space to take stock of the complex dynamics of a financial sector that is changing rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. The conference will tackle some of the most pressing issues related to global regulatory reform, including the efficiency of financial intermediation, institutional connectedness and the soundness of markets, the competitive dynamics of financial intermediaries under the influence of new prudential regulation and structural reforms, and the state of financial reform.

Esteemed panelists will include Peter Praet (European Central Bank), Paul Tucker (Bank of England), Darrell Duffie (Stanford University), Paul Saltzman (The Clearing House), and many more.

At no time has a critical evaluation of Western financial regulatory reform been more crucial for the efficient and effective operation of the financial system.

Join us to hear more on the progress and challenges of implementing the G-20 regulatory reform program.
