States, Banks, and the Financing of the Economysponsored by UBS held at the University of Zürich on 5-6 September 2012 |
Notes on the theme of the Colloquium:
Bankrupt states, (f)ailing banks, angry citizens – a toxic cocktail threatens the European and the world economy. The current global financial, economic and fiscal crisis reveals a complex interplay between states and financial markets: Instability in banking has spread to states and vice versa, with failures in both sectors looming. Economic and political fragility are feeding each other. The crisis increasingly hurts the real economy. This in turn further worsens public finances and bank balance sheets.
