UK Efficiency & Productivity Analysis Network International Conference on
"Global trends in the Efficiency and Risk Management of Financial Services and the Financial Crisis" Hosted by Efficiency and Productivity Research Unit (EPRU) University of Leicester School Management Leicester, United Kingdom, 14 & 15 November 2009 In recent years, the financial services industry has experienced many changes such as technological progress, financial innovations, increased competition from non-financial firms, and deregulation. These changes transformed the financial landscape and the nature of the services offered by financial firms. For example, firms became aggressively involved in off-balance-sheet activities and other non-interest income related services, they formed strategic alliances through mergers and acquisitions to broaden and diversify their portfolio of services, and they introduced advanced IT systems to offer internet services and improve their risk management systems and customer service. However, the 2007 crisis, which spread rapidly across the globe, reminded everyone, about the fragility and leveraged nature of the financial industry in addition to the damaging nature of the financial crisis for the economy. Furthermore, it revealed that, despite improvements in the efficiency and productivity of financial services firms, risk management systems remain sub-optimal, and that there is a need to improve corporate governance and internal control systems. Additionally, the crisis re-opened the debates on the use of financial innovations and the usefulness of alternative regulatory frameworks. One of the new challenges for policy makers is to design regulations that take account of the interactions between competition, efficiency, and financial stability. The Conference is organised by the UKEPAN (UK Efficiency & Productivity Analysis Network) with an aim to provide a forum for debate among international researchers and policy makers. The Conference programme also includes round -table meetings to establish a European Network on Financial efficiency with an aim for the group to eventually set up a European project within the Seventh Framework program (FP7). The keynote speech will be presented by Professor Iftekhar Hasan (Lally School of Management & Technology, RPI, US(..
