The Global Policy Institute Leading the Debate on 'The Future of the City'
The Global Policy Institute (GPI) hosted a major all-day conference on ‘The Future of the City of London’ at Bloomberg Centre on April 30. The conference, held in the heart of the City, was a great success and widely reported on in leading news outlets such as the Telegraph, the Evening Standard, and Bloomberg online.
International experts and major players from banking, government, and the media, including the UK Minister of Trade and Investment (UKTI) and Chairman of the Business Council for Britain, Mervyn Davies (Lord of Aberschoch); Chairman of the influential Policy & Resources Committee of the City of London, Stuart Fraser; former Lord Mayor of the City of London and Chair of the China-Britain Business Council, Sir David Brewer; the eminent economist Willem Buiter; the City of London’s ‘Policy Chief’, Sir Stuart Fraser; and Financial Times columnist and author, John Kay, had gathered to discuss the geopolitical and geoeconomic ramifications of the current global financial and economic crisis on Europe’s leading financial centre.
An edited volume of all conference contributions will be published later this year.
