OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Max Watson Memorial Lecture
Mr Regling will appear virtually
Mr Regling will reflect on the unfinished agenda for reinforcing the euro. The euro has been a strong second international currency to the dollar since its inception and has regained much of the influence lost in the global financial crisis. A multipolar currency world, with the euro and renminbi serving as coequal alternatives to the US dollar, would contribute importantly to global financial stability. But first, to buttress the euro. Europe needs to address the fragmentation in its financial markets and capital markets to enhance liquidity and deepen markets. The euro area also needs more economic risk-sharing, via cross-border investment and a common fiscal capacity backed by a safe asset. While progress has been striking in some areas during the pandemic, much remains to be done to achieve banking union and capital markets union.
