2010 and Beyond: Potential Regulatory Impact on Financial Markets - Virtual Recording

RECORDED JULY 21, 2010 - Presenter: Mayra Rodríguez Valladares

There has been a flurry of proposals to overhaul the financial institutions regulatory framework and to regulate some derivative instruments, like credit defaults swaps. These proposals coming from Europe, the UK, and the US will have a significant impact not just presently but also for many years to come. Given the fast paced introduction and debate of banking and derivatives regulation in Europe and the US, this course will be updated continuously to reflect the most current market situation. A final regulatory bill is expected by the 4th of July in the US, this course will help you see the impact of financial regulations on your day-to-day role
