May 18, 2009: Singapore International Financial Centers
An Interdisciplinary Roundtable (by invitation only)
In cooperation with the University of Illinois College of Law

The current global financial and economic crisis has raised new questions about the future of international financial centers. Onshore governments are seeking broader international and domestic regulatory measures that threaten to disrupt transactions housed outside their borders. Anti-terror finance rules are putting new hurdles in the path of international financial transactions. International regulatory bodies are seeking enhanced powers that could undermine the use of multi-jurisdiction transactions. Roundtable conveners seek to create scholarship that can help keep jurisdictional competition on the policy agenda.

Roundtable conveners:

• Professor Andrew Morriss, University of Illinois College of Law
• Professor Larry Ribstein, University of Illinois College of Law
• Professor Houman Shadab, Mercatus Center, Washington, DC and from July 2009, the New York Law School
• Professor Hans Tjio, National University of Singapore

The details for the event are as follows:

Date:	18 May 2009
Time:	9:00 am to 1:30 pm (including lunch)
Venue:	Lee Sheridan Conference Room, Eu Tong Sen Building, Faculty of Law, NUS
