NIESR Conference: Financial Regulation: Anat Admati

Capital adequacy and the safety of the banking system are key questions in the post-Crisis environment. In this video, Anat Admati argues that more needs to be done in order to have a safer banking system. Policy-makers should instruct the banks to invest shareholders’ money instead of borrowed money. This way they would accumulate unborrowed money and will be able to invest it without taking unnecessary risks. This video was recorded at the 18th March 2016 conference on Financial Regulation organized by NIESR and held at the Bank of England.
