Distinguished Lecture: The Global Financial Crisis and Rebuilding the Financial System

Prof Anoop Singh, former Director of the Asia and Pacific Department of the International Monetary Fund, was invited to Lingnan University to share his views on the global financial crisis on 17 October.
 
In the lecture, Prof Singh reviewed the underlying weaknesses that led to the 2008 global financial crisis, and assessed the reform agenda to address the weaknesses. He also examined how different today’s global financial system is from its pre-crisis self, and how today’s global financial system is viewed by emerging markets that are seeking to build capital markets and new growth engines.
 
Well attended by academics and students, the lecture was organized by Master of Science in International Banking and Finance Programme, Department of Economics, Lingnan University.
