Fifth Annual Risk Conference

Five years after the onset of the financial crisis, the financial services industry is still working through a process of rehabilitation. Balance sheets are stronger, but problem areas remain. The contours of the new regulation are becoming clearer, but implementing new dictates will require a lot of work from bankers and their supervisors. Instiutions are anxious to reinforce safety and soundness, but must also find avenues to restore profitability.

This conference explored the trade-offs involved on each of these fronts. Practitioners, regulators and industry observers contributed their thoughts on what might be on the horizon.
