In these recording of our recent synoptic revision webinar on Financial Economics we look at why maintaining financial stability has become increasingly important for UK policy-makers in the aftermath of the Great Recession that followed the Global Financial Crisis. We have broken the webinar content into four short videos below.

Financial instability brings economic and social costs and the legacy of a financial crisis can take many years to fully work through.
