Introduction (Via Economist)
The Buttonwood Gathering draws on the popular weekly financial column and blog in The Economist. Bringing together global regulators and bankers to discuss and debate new ideas and develop a new set of guidelines moving forward, the event will go beyond typical financial industry events by seeking to bridge financial issues with macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.
