Life After KiwiSaver and PIEs : The Regulation
of Financial Services
The 2007 Eriksens conference was held in Auckland on November 7 2007. The main themes were the effects of globalisation and financial regulation on the financial services industry.
Our KiwiSaver workshop showed that most of our New Zealand attendees were in KiwiSaver, with a sizable proportion having spouses and children who had also enrolled.
As our speakers explained, these themes are now interrelated since, with globalisation, events in one region have a direct effect on other locations. One consequence is that financial services regulators are increasingly adopting international standards. New Zealand is now in the midst of these regulatory changes.
Other speakers looked at the state of the global economy, with a special look at the effects of the US sub-prime mortgage market on international credit markets, project management of new regulations within financial services organisations and long short equity investing.
A highlight was the address by Dr Alan Bollard who discussed recent international events and their effect on New Zealand, together with an overview of the Reserve Bank's possible regulatory role
with respect to the financial service industry.
We thank our presenters for making the time to address us, and look forward to seeing them and our other attendees at our conference next
year.
