The First Annual Garnet Conference
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
September 27-29, 2006
Partners
Overview
This conference co-organized by RBWC and the University of Amsterdam was the first of a series of annual GARNET conferences, which were events devoted to topics such as the global governance of financial markets, capital flows to emerging markets, regionalism versus globalism, and financial regulations in the EU. At the time with the Eurozone under pressure of enlargement and internal disagreement regarding a decentralized governance of the single currency, this three day conference, held just a few days after the IMF/World Bank meetings in Singapore, allowed for a rich interchange of ideas for how to move toward a better financial governance in the Eurozone as well as at the G20 level.
