Its that time of the year again: The Financial Risk and Stability Network holds the annual Financial Stability Conference as well as a Policy Workshop in Berlin on October 28 and 29.
While speakers at the conference draw on the highest calibre of policymakers in International Financial Regulation, the Policy Workshop provides a superb and more informal platform for discussion fresh policy ideas among young researchers and academics.
You should register as soon as possible for both here and here.
