Choppy stock markets, liquidity crisis, credit squeeze, escalating interest rates, inflation hovering at a 12 percent, the global downturn has indeed left all of us asking for answers and  assurances.  In such a backdrop, the ISB community recently organised a forum to analyse the genesis of the global financial crisis, to derive lessons that can help avoid or at least reduce the possibility of such circumstances in the future, and also to discuss its implications for India, and finally take lessons for the way forward. A student-driven initiative organised by the Finance Club from the Class of 2009, the discussion had on its panel, Visiting Associate Professor, Sumit Agarwal from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Rajesh Chakrabarti, Assistant Professor of Finance, ISB, who researches the Indian financial sector, and Ramabhadran Thirumalai, Assistant Professor of Finance, who is also the resident expert on derivative instruments. Professor Agarwal began the session by explaining the benefits of securitisation, and how it went from good to bad to ugly.
