Shifting Sands:
Threats & Opportunities

20 & 21 October 2008

Concept Paper

The financial world in the US and Europe is collapsing, bringing with it the contagion effects in the real sectors of those markets and economies around the world. What purportedly started with sub-prime US mortgages has translated into major upheavals in the global credit markets that have shaken the financial community, threatened the global financial architecture and have destroyed major investment banking institutions in a breathtakingly short period of time. The depth and extent of the crisis are deceptively masked by the swiftness of its unfolding. Indeed, many among those who have been affected are still trying to make sense of what has happened. There is, however, a larger segment of the population that has not felt its effects as yet.
