The Hoover Institution hosts Banks and Beyond on April 3-4, 2025.
This conference will explore the implications of the rapid expansion of private credit markets and the growth of technologically advanced non-bank financial intermediaries (NBFIs) for the efficiency and stability of the U.S. financial system. What effects have they had on the allocation of credit to firms and households? What effects have they had on the efficiency of the payments system? Are they substitutes for, or complements to, the traditional banking sector? Do they increase or decrease the need for deposit insurance and supervision? Should they be regulated and supervised, and if so, how?
This conference is by invitation only.
