9 March 2012

Amid alarming headlines and news broadcasts dominated by the desperate attempts of European Union and national government officials to manage the escalating sovereign debt and financial crisis that was calling into question the political structures of Europe, CRISMART and the Centre for Banking and Finance (CEFIN) at KTH on February 22nd, 2012 hosted a seminar on managing financial crisis.

Moderated by Prof. Stellan Lundström of KTH, the seminar entitled Managing Financial Crisis: Public and Private Sector Perspectives (PDF, 244 kB) attracted great interest from Swedish government authorities, the banking industry, academia and the media, as well the diplomatic community in Stockholm.

Here we invite you to watch the presentations made by senior public and private sector officials and scholars who share their personal experiences and insights into the current as well as historical financial crises.
