“In a more shock-prone world, with the international monetary and financial system potentially being profoundly altered by a series of major transformative trends, the returns on effective surveillance will be much greater. Forewarned is forearmed. Prevention is more effective than cure.”
He contacted global regulatory authorities to “lay out the risks and vulnerabilities with more prominence and thereby directly challenge the naysayers.”
