Reserve Bank of New Zealand Workshop held on 27 April 2004
This workshop aims to generate discussion around how banks operate and compete with one another, how to think about ways in which economic shocks might affect banks, and how regulators can deal with banks that are under stress.
The participants at the workshop come from a variety of backgrounds and institutions: members of academia, of the banking and financial services industries, and of policy institutions will be involved in the discussion at the workshop. The presentations at this workshop will cover a mixture of conceptual and empirical work in these areas, and will address recent thinking on some of these issues as well as discussing New Zealand's recent experience of "stress-testing" banks.
