Managing Financial Risks-The Insurance Industry Wednesday, June 30, 2004 2:30-4:00 p.m. IMF Auditorium (Enter via the IMF Center) 720 19th St. N.W. Washington, D.C. Transcript of this Forum
Among the most far-reaching changes taking place in the globalization of finance have been the blurring of the rigid segmentation in the financial industry and the transfer of risks from the banking to the nonbanking sectors. This transfer raises a number of key issues, such as: Where has the risk gone? Will it be increasingly transferred to final users of capital markets, including the household sector? Are these recipients able to manage the risk they have assumed? Will new vulnerabilities arise from these changes? And, what role should the international community—particularly the International Monetary Fund—play in addressing such matters? These and related questions will be discussed by the following panelists: Hung Tran (Moderator) Deputy Director International Capital Markets Department IMF Keith Buckley Managing Director, Insurance Practice Group Fitch Ratings Charles Lucas Director of Market Risk Management American International Group Grace Osborne Director of Advanced Analytical Group, Insurance Practice Standard & Poors David Strachan Director of the Life Insurance Division UK Financial Services Authority |
