About the workshop
A research workshop for economists at central banks and supervisory authorities was held in Madrid on 28-29 May 2009. The workshop - Challenges in banking research - was organised by the Research Task Force of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and sponsored by the Bank of Spain.
