    Ever since the publication of the BRIC [ Brazil, Russia, India , China ] report by Goldman Sachs in 2001, the debate about the role of emerging countries vs. the developed countries in shaping global business has gathered momentum. A revised version of the same report entitled “BRICs and Beyond” by the same authors, with upward revision of certain growth projections, has added further fuel to the debate so much so that by now, most countries have accepted that the world economy is in transition. In other words, the countries as above joined by others such as South Korea, Mexico and to some extent the major Arab countries and Iran and Indonesia will exert a much greater influence in world affairs aided by their increasing economic power. The developed countries, led obviously by the major economies of USA, Japan, Germany, Britain , France and others [ the so-called G-7/8 group of nations ] have accepted that their dominance in shaping world opinion will be shelved as the growth gradient of the emerging economies becomes increasingly steeper. Nowhere has this been more reflected than in the G-20 [Group of 20 countries – developed and emerging] meet last year [2008] in calling for fiscal stimulus to induce growth to beat the recessionary forces.

    A critical evaluation of regulatory, size, governance, resolution and competition issues. Organised by the Banking Law Symposium Views are emerging that banks are simply too big and should be broken up so that taxpayers are not again put at risk. A former Chairman and CEO of Citibank said that “It wasn’t that one or two institutions did stupid things. It was, we all did, and the whole system came down”. As well, the former Chairman of Merrill Lynch noted that he was one of the people who led the charge to get rid of Glass-Steagall and he now regrets having done that. Banks have increased in size and complexity and become global institutions challenging the reach of national regulators. What have we learned from the great financial crisis? What steps are policy makers taking to avoid similar events in the future? Has the risk culture of banking changed so dramatically? What is the future of financial regulation?
