In collaboration with the Center of Excellence SAFE (Sustainable Architecture for Finance in Europe), the International Center for Insurance Regulation (ICIR) organized the workshop on "Banking, Insurance - Interconnectedness, Systemic Risk and Regulation".
Against the background of financial crises and a reform of the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, the workshop aimed to foster the dialogue between academics and regulatory authorities from the fields of banking and insurance. The main focus lied on current issues in measuring and regulating the interconnectedness and systemic risk between and within the two sectors. The workshop brought together distinguished scholars, industrial experts and regulatory leaders whose research/business/policy interests focus on systemic risk as well as on bank and insurance regulation.
