The 15th and 16th of June 2009, IRE gathered a group of eminent international specialists in finance, banking and monetary regulation, at the Charles Leopold Mayer Foundation in Paris.

The purpose of this second meeting – the first one took place one year ago, in summer 2008, i.e. before the crash of the American financial system and the world recession that followed – was to put forward and discuss propositions to a new, more stable international financial system, a system that would better serve our societies and economies.
