The Centre for Financial Regulation and Risk Management serves as a forum for stimulating and conducting research and disseminating knowledge on financial regulation and risk management. The Centre's goal is to promote policy-related research, not only to address key regulatory issues, but also to reflect a broad spectrum of individual viewpoints and perspectives drawn from the academia and the financial services industry. The center aims to achieve this by connecting academic researchers and their research with the practicioners and decision-makers in the public and private sectors. The center focuses both on prudential regulation and conduct regulation, including the prevention of market failure, promotion of macroeconomic stability, protection of investors, and mitigation of the effects of financial failures on the real economy. It also explores how market transparency can be improved.
