CRISMART and CEFIN arranging financial crisis seminar on Dec 11
CRISMART - the National Center for Crisis Management Research and Training at the Swedish National Defence College (Försvarshögskolan) - and CEFIN - the Center for Banking and Finance at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) - welcome you to increase your understanding of a crisis that has shaken confidence in our economic model, and that will shape the course of globalization for years to come:
The Roots and Responses to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis
December 11th, 13:00 – 16:30 in Sverigesalen at the Swedish National Defence College (Försvarshögskolan), Drottning Kristinas Väg 37, Stockholm
The seminar opens with a keynote address by Swedish National Debt Office Director Bo Lundgren, who was a key figure in successfully managing the Swedish banking crisis of the early nineties, which has become a blueprint of sorts for some leaders during the current crisis. Other participants include Professors Stellan Lundström, Hans Lind, Tom Kärrlander, Eric Stern, Bertjan Verbeek (Netherlands) and British Ambassador to Sweden Andrew Mitchell. An expert panel discussion will conclude the seminar.

More about the seminar
The current global financial crisis has reached such scale, scope and speed that it has defied the ability of government authorities and other stakeholders to effectively manage the situation as economic havoc spreads across the globe. Depression, for the first time in generations, has crept back into the lexicon of economists and media commentators. Despite clear advance warnings signals, why was the crisis not contained before reaching a tipping point beyond which decision makers seem to have lost control of events?
On December 11th two leading research institutes seek to find answers to this and other crucial questions surrounding the roots and responses to the global financial crisis. This international seminar brings together experts on finance, government and crisis management to examine the causes, consequences and cascading dynamics of the global financial crisis that began in the American housing market and spread through the interlinked global economy, necessitating multi-lateral coordinated responses from governments and transnational institutions.
