Europe has set «smart, sustainable and inclusive growth» as a goal for 2020. This is in reaction to an economy judged to be short-term and excessively focused on finance • A knowledge economy based on innovation, human capital and the relationship between stakeholders is best suited to achieve this goal. But if such an economy is to create the wealth and employment opportunities of which it is capable it requires an appropriate system of governance involving an interaction between business, financial and public players • What are the best practices by which a company can extract a sustainable performance from its intangible assets while managing the risks involved? • What financial and non-financial information needs to be provided to the markets? • How can the public sector and a socially integrated economy value and develop their intangible assets? • What should financial market participants (investors, analysts, rating agencies, etc.) do to activate and finance investment in the knowledge economy? • What policies are needed to create a legal, business and fiscal environment that will best favour the knowledge economy?

“Nothing can stop an idea in action once its time has come” (Victor Hugo)

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune” (Shakespeare)

Has the hour of the knowledge economy arrived?

Why, how and what is the outlook?  These are the questions which the panellists will discuss with participants.

News

Under News, the Luxembourg Institute for Global Financial Integrity shall make announcements and post press releases on internal and external matters that are of interest to its members, partners and other stakeholders and pertain to its actions and activities aimed at supporting professional excellence, ethics and integrity in the global financial sector, national financial centers and jurisdictions.

 

The LIGFI Website is henceforth active and open to constructive dialogue!

Tuesday, 20 October 2009 00:00

Since its foundation on the 12th of May 2009, much internal work and effort has been put into shaping how the Luxembourg Institute for Global Financial Integrity should function in the interests of its members, partners and other stakeholders. As LIGFI has the ambition to be a relevant player in the global financial sector, its national financial centers and jurisdictions, the obvious conclusion is that its website can reach out to all corners of the world and must hence play a central role in bringing people and organizations together for research and constructive open dialogue. The present state of the website provides the start for the Institute to assume its role of Forum within and outside the global financial sector.
The website includes a Blog that can be used to post thoughts and comments as well as to provide links and attach documents for perusal. LIGFI imposes the one condition for posting being that the blog user respects the principle of constructive open dialogue that involves courtesy and respect for the opinions of others, including those of the Institute. Otherwise, LIGFI much looks forward to as many diverse thought-provoking ideas and perspectives as are possible!
