Advancing credit risk strategies for the current market and devising more accurate valuation methods.

As the global financial crisis pushes beyond to unprecedented proportions and the central bank liquidity injections are met by continued lack of counterparty confidence, there is only one forum where regulators, market participants from the major global banks and academics can come together and discuss current events and solutions: Credit Risk 08, taking place in London on 27-29 October.

The comprehensive agenda will look at real experiences with challenges from increasing interbank rates, how to set prices for complex assets, to the proposed bail-out schemes, such as government capital going to financial institutions in return for a stake. Representatives from both world financial centres – London and New York – will discuss recent experiences. Plus, the Credit Lab on 27 October targets counterparty credit risk, providing intensive training on exposure profiles and credit limits.

Throughout the conference, experts will look at how to restore confidence, optimal solutions for toxic assets and the recent effects of market uncertainty on credit default swap insurance costs.

Attend and stay on top of market news. Two days with the real players who are proactively participating throughout the crisis will provide a sense of the market that headline reliance and waiting simply cannot.
