Hitting the target: The politics of designing effective financial regulation

In the aftermath of the recent crisis, we are seeing a raft of new financial regulations across the globe. Yet all too often, regulation fails or has unintended effects. What can be done to ensure that financial regulation achieves its desired impact? And how might this differ based on the developmental context?

In this GEG seminar we bring together three experts to discuss how to craft effective financial regulation:

• Sir John Vickers, Warden of All Souls College and Chair of the UK Independent Commission on Banking (2010-2011)
• John Armour, Hogan Lovells Professor of Law and Finance, University of Oxford
• Professor Mthuli Ncube, Senior Research Fellow, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford and Chief Economist, African Development Bank
