OxTalks is Changing
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
Banking reform: The limits of prudence
Since the financial crisis, regulatory requirements for banks have been considerably increased – in terms of capital, liquidity, risk management and governance standards and the depth of regulatory oversight. This intensification of regulation was undoubtedly needed and has materially strengthened the soundness and resilience of the banking system. Substantial progress has also been made in two consequential areas that needed remedial attention: the moral hazard of “too big to fail”; and banking-type activities outside the regulated framework. But what should be the limits of regulation? At what point does regulation begin to constrain competition and innovation in banking services to the point where banks are less able to provide the services to the wider economy which are their basic purpose?
