Lending to households after the crisis

ECRI and CEPS hosted a conference on lending to households after the crisis to assess how the current policy initiatives and regulatory developments meet the challenges of the new market environment and what should be looked upon in the future.

The discussion was based on the launch of the ECRI Research Report on household debt during the crisis, which analyses the causes and the consequences of the steep decline in household debt. The event focused on the challenges of the post-crisis environment and addressed what future legislative initiatives and methods are necessary to promote sustainable household debt.
