read a short report of the 2nd Summit Lecture
The “Summit Lecture” seminar series, held twice yearly, aims at discussing the main theme of the year’s Munich Economic Summit in a smaller, more intimate circle than during the Summit itself.
The 9th Munich Economic Summit, to be held on 29 and 30 April 2010, will examine the roots of the near-meltdown of the international financial system and delineate a possible new global financial architecture to prevent a recurrence. The 2nd Summit Lecture, in turn, has provided insights gained from Japan’s financial crisis in the 1990s that could prove useful in mending the world’s ailing financial markets.
The Summit Lecture was held on 23 February 2010 at 6 pm at the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, Poschingerstr. 5, 81679 Munich.
Speakers:
Yuji Osawa
Chief Representative of the Bank of Japan, Frankfurt
Franz Waldenberger
Professor for Japanese Economy at the Japan Centre and the Faculty of Business at the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich
Hans-Werner Sinn (Moderator)
Professor of Economics and Public Finance at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich;
President, Ifo Institute for Economic Research, Munich
