Questions
1. Discuss the effective functioning of capital markets in Australia during and
immediately after the Global Financial Crisis(GFC). How was the raising of
finance affected by the GFC and what was the role of governance guidelines in
supporting it?
2. Discuss the intended roles of the institutions and intermediaries discussed in the
case, such as central banks (e.g. the US Federal Reserve), stock exchanges (e.g.
ASX), individual banks and governments. Are their incentives aligned properly
with their intended role? Whose incentives are most misaligned? At what stage of
the economic cycle are the misalignments more pronounced?
3. Who if anyone was primarily responsible for the GFC?
4. What are the costs of such an event? As a future business professional, what lessons do you draw from it?
