The "New Normal" Workshop
Bankya, 13th November – 15th November 2009
The Event: We have just witnessed one of the biggest crises since the Great Depression. Some credit markets totally stopped functioning and the world was on the brink of financial chaos. What followed was nothing short of opening the floodgates and almost drowning the economy with liquidity and government guarantees. The worst may have been averted, but the trillions of new dollars poured all over the world leave us in a pretty fragile situation. So is the recession over and where do we go from here?
The correct answer to this will be of paramount importance to careers and portfolios around the world for many years to come. So be the one of twenty four students, who together with our distinguished lecturers will discuss and brainstorm on the optimal strategies ahead. You just can't afford to miss it.
