Link Conference: Ten years after the 2008 financial crisis – where are we
heading now?
It has been ten years since the U.S. mortgage market collapsed, the credit
crunch squeezed liquidity out of the markets world-wide and triggered the
collapse of many iconic financial institutions. The unprecedented financial
distress and, subsequent, economic slowdown have been deeply felt around
the world. Even now, after ten years of regulatory changes and numerous
economy stimulating packages, the world economy has not fully recovered
from the losses caused by the 2008 financial crisis. Even though the 2008
financial crises made us financially worse off, it taught us many valuable
lessons about the role of regulation, risk management, banking competition,
etc. In addition, it reminded us dramatically how deeply financial
institutions are imbedded in the everyday life of businesses and
individuals, and how integrated and interrelated financial markets of
individual countries are, regardless whether they are developed or
emerging.

However, it would be a great simplification to restrict the contribution of
the last ten years to the lessons learnt from the 2008 financial crisis and
from post-crisis stabilisation reforms. Fintech, FinReg, green finance and
many other terms have grown from being trendy catch-words to becoming big
and independent research fields. Moreover, we have not totally shaken off
the possibility of experiencing another financial crisis. This time,
however, it would not be the banking sector that would trigger the snowball
of financial distress, but the pension industry, commonly thought to be
‘sensible’ long-term investors, conscientious institutional investors
who would contribute to improving corporate governance in and transparency
of markets.

So here we go again! We are organising another great conference that will
bring academics and practitioners together in the effort to share our
knowledge, experience and research.
