Event : This house believes the nuts and bolts of systemic risk control are in our toolbox
On : 5 October 2010
More information : A debate on what it will take to manage systemic risk right
Systemic risk management controls were clearly ineffective in anticipating the last crisis. Even if they had understood it, many national supervisors with different information were attempting to deal with an international problem on a local basis.
Ambitious G20 plans have sparked divergent approaches to systemic risk management in the EU, US and UK. New research shows that a single approach to managing the systemic risk reporting paradox is likely to be ineffective.
A new platform is required, and a joined up approach across systemically important firms, supervisors and their supply chain will avoid a regime of ‘garbage in, gospel out’ that could fail to spot the next one. But, will it happen?
- Why can’t we just Google systemic risk data?
- What does a good systemic risk control platform need to do?
- What is the gap between a systemic risk platform and what we have today?
- Who would need to be involved in creating a global platform?
- How quickly can we stop the next crisis?
