The 10th Seminar on Monetary and Financial Law will be held at IMF Headquarters in Washington, D.C. on November 30-December 3, 2009. The theme of the 2009 seminar will be "Restoring Financial Stability—the Legal Response."
In the wake of the financial crisis, the seminar will examine the legal and regulatory reforms that are needed, at the international and national levels, to both minimize the risk of future financial crises and limit the damage they cause.
Attendance by participants from member countries and international financial institutions will be by invitation. It is envisaged that the participants will be drawn from central banks, ministries of finance, and bank supervisory agencies, and will be predominantly lawyers.
This seminar will be co-hosted by the IMF Legal Department and the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the Japan Financial Services Agency, and Bank of Japan.
