Agenda
Coronavirus: follow the updated provisions
The new provisions for lessons, exams, degrees, exercises, tutors and traineeships, receptions, and still the rules for access to common areas are online and costantly updated. All events are also suspended until April 3rd. We recommend to carefully follow the official channels of Ca' Foscari.
The Coronavirus and Financial Stability
The spreading of the Covid-19 virus causes a reduction in economic activity worldwide and may lead to new risks to financial stability. The authors, including Loriana Pelizzon, draw attention to the urgency of the targeted mitigation strategies on the European level. Coordinated action at European level is decisive to prevent markets from losing confidence in the resilience of banks, particularly in countries with limited fiscal capacity. In contrast to the euro crisis of 2011, the cause of the current crisis does not lie in the financial markets; therefore, the risk of moral hazard for banks or states is low.
