IMF and Ongoing Policy Relevance in Changing Geopolitical Landscapes

The London Financial Regulation Seminar is an inter-collegiate and inter-disciplinary group of experts led by Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) and the Institute of Banking and Finance under the leadership of Professor Rosa M. Lastra and Dr. Daniele D’Alvia.

On Monday, the 2nd of February, Nancy Jacklin delivered a formal presentation titled “The IMF and its ongoing policy relevance in a changing geopolitical landscape”. Prof. Rosa M. Lastra chaired the event.

Nancy Jacklin is a former US Executive Director of the IMF and former partner of Clifford Chance. Prior to that, she worked at Citibank N.A. and from 1982 until 1985, she served as Assistant General Counsel for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. She is a graduate of Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and Georgetown University Law Center. She has developed Brettonomics, a series of educational podcasts in which she sits down with experts for the benefit of non-experts interested in the Bretton Woods Institutions and other IFIs because of their educational pursuits, employment, or just their curiosity. The series explains the origins of the various institutions created to coordinate international monetary and economic affairs, why they are needed, how they have evolved, and how they get things done. Brettonomics is one of the learning resources available to students at CCLS studying the Law of International Financial Institutions.
