Dmitrij Katkov
The Anatomy of a Financial Crisis – or What Went Wrong?
Thursday, April 16, 17:00
Neufeld Hall

In this public lecture it is attempted to take a close and impartial look at the sequence of events and economic conditions that have resulted in the current financial meltdown. Undoubtedly this crisis is the most severe since the times of the Great Depression. What is more, due to the globalized economy there is no country that is able to escape it. It is commonly believed that banks are the main culprits and deserve the blame for what has happened. This is true, but only to a certain point. Katkov’s desire is to show how a mix of a housing price bubble, poor lending practices, high leverage embedded in the investment banking system, de-regulation and some lax risk management practices have helped to create a financial meltdown that has poisoned the world economy after a period of prosperity. Only a clear understanding of what has happened will help to look for effective ways out of this crisis. By knowing the past it is possible to avert the similar crises in the future.

Dmitrij Katkov is a Master of Science in Finance (University of Plymouth), is a member of the UK Society of Investment Professionals and Professional Risk Managers' International Organization (PRMIA). He is currently teaching Money and Banking, Finance and Principles of Accounting at LCC International University.
