Seminar #1 Rod Maddock "What I expect from the Murray Inquiry into the financial system"
Financial system inquiries are a big deal, they happen infrequently and can have a major influence on the structure of the economy. Following on the the shadow of the global financial crisis, and with questions being asked about the whole move towards financial globalisation, Murray has the opportunity to re-shape our financial system. Issues such as our dependence on offshore capital, the extent to which we align with global regulation, the role of superannuation in the financial system, are of critical importance.
