It is generally recognized that building a global financial safety net is important to mitigate the possibility of financial crisis. It should be consisted of regional, national and international components.

This is event will ask what is the methodology for building this safety net and how can we promote an orderly evolution of it?

To answer this question, Shanghai Development Research Foundation (SDRF) and Reinventing Bretton Woods Committee (RBWC) have decided to hold “Stocktaking of International Financial Architecture.” The event is also organized by the the Research Institute of Banking and Finance, the People’s Bank of China (RIBF of PBOC) and the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP).
