ILF Conference on 21 Jan: "Too Big to Fail III: Structural Reform Proposals - Should We Break Up the Banks?"

Should we split up the banks and, if so, how? That is the question posed by the Volcker Rule and the Vickers and Liikanen Reports. The Volcker Rule has been finalized and enactment of Vickers and Liikanen is pending.

Why we have arrived at this point and whether this is a good idea will be discussed on January 21, 2014 at the third in the ILF's series of day-long conferences on Too Big to Fail.

The program is enclosed and we hope you will all join us to hear Andreas Dombret, Member of the Management Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank and Paul Achleitner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank discuss the issues involved, together with public sector officials, including representatives of the Bank of England, Her Majesty's Treasury and the European Commission, representatives of prominent think tanks, including the Peterson Institute and the Brookings Institution, and international practitioners from the US and the UK.
