Why is finance powerful in developing countries? – Financialisation Discussion Group – (26 March 2019)

Why is finance so powerful in developing countries if it is not performing its economic function? How can governments reform the financial system to make it work in the public interest?

Natalya Naqvi from LSE will address the questions above for the second meeting of IIPPE financialisation discussion series 2019. Natalya Naqvi is an Assistant Professor in International Political Economy at LSE. Her current project investigates the conditions under which developing countries can exert public control over their financial sectors in order to support structural transformation of the economy, despite the constraints posed by economic globalisation.

All welcome!
