2013 Bretton Woods International Council Meeting In DC Today


Date: Thu, Oct 10, 2013 12:00pm - 6:00pm

Location: Willard Intercontinental Hotel, Washington DC

As the world marks five years since the economic collapse of 2008, a shared roadmap to lead the international community toward its desired destination – global growth with systemic stability – remains elusive. Economic, regulatory, and financial sector reforms are progressing, but may be taking divergent paths.

The 2013 Bretton Woods Committee International Council Meeting will explore the road to global financial stability.

We will consider whether the actions and incentives driving monetary and fiscal policies, regulatory reforms, and financial market participants are sufficiently aligned to sustain global growth.


Speakers include: Fahad Almubarak, Governor, Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency

Mohamed El-Erian, CEO and co-CIO, PIMCO

Stefan Ingves, Governor, Sveriges Riksbank

Colm Kelleher, Chairman, Morgan Stanley International

Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor, Bank of Japan

Christine Lagarde, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund

Brian T. Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer, Bank of America

Raghuram Rajan, Governor, Reserve Bank of India

Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Singapore

Daniel K. Tarullo, Governor, Federal Reserve System of the United States

Sir David Walker, Chairman, Barclays And other global leaders.
