Overview
During this seminar organized with the G20 Chair India to cover the ongoing debate on crisis prevention and resolution, some concerns started to emerge about the international financial architecture debate appearing to have compartmentalized into separate conversations about surveillance, code and standards, financial action task force, and money laundering issues. Participants voiced doubts about the benefits of global financial integration and reaffirmed the need for self-insurance to become more prevalent. In a memorable moment South African Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel, summarized the state of play in the debate as follows: “Did we have any profound strategies for crisis prevention? The only one we had was luck”.
