RESPONSIBLE CREDIT 2008: Sign up now! Less than a fortnight to go... GLOBAL BANKING IN CRISIS - Now is the time for Responsible Credit! Taxpayers all over the world are now footing the bill to rescue banks. Yet, it is households who are feeling the worst effects of the meltdown in the global financial system. Mortgage rates are rising after consumers have been encouraged to take on excessive housing debt, savings and pensions are threatened, and unemployment is rising. Irresponsible lending practices are the cause of this crisis. Excessive financial risk was passed down from banks to the public. Now the banks have lost faith in households to manage these, lost trust in each other, and the supply of finance has frozen over, impacting with alarming speed on consumer spending and jobs. The response to this crisis must involve immediate support for households, but it must also lay the ground for new rules to govern the future provision of credit. Join us in London to discuss the causes of this crisis and its impact on consumers and to contribute to the development of remedies to the biggest banking crisis in 60 years. Responsible Credit 2008, the 8th International Conference on Financial Services, organised by ECRC, NCRC, and UK partner, Inclusion, is still open for bookings. The conference will take place in London's Covent Garden on 13th and 14th November. A draft programme is attached below. We hope to see you there!
