It aims to facilitate an ongoing dialogue between the reserve and asset management specialists of the participating organisations, encouraging knowledge sharing and collaboration across organisations, and fostering the development and dissemination of the best practices in public sector portfolio and risk management. All papers will be reviewed by the conference's organising committee. Authors will be informed of the outcome by mid-September 2012. In this process, the organisers aim to achieve a balanced representation of the topics listed above. The selection of the papers will be based on, among other things, quality and relevance to the conference. Authors are encouraged to contact one of the three coordinators, Mr Coche, Mr Petre, or Mr Bouye (see contact details below), to discuss the scope and focus of possible contributions. Enquiries about the conference may be directed to Joachim Coche, joachim.coche@bis.org, Gabriel Petre, gpetre@worldbank.org, or Eric Bouye, ebouye@worldbank.org SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Your submission together with a short curriculum vitae should be e-mailed to: Tamara Tabatadze ttabatadze@worldbank.org Sovereign Investment Partnerships 1225 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20433 USA Tel: +1 202 458 7150d

How can bank regulation and resolution strategies reduce these costs? • How to backstop an international bank? Is there need for institutional reform? • Taxation of the financial sector. What are actual tax burdens on banks, how does taxation affect bank behavior, how to appropriately tax the financial sector, and what is the interplay between taxation and regulation? • The sovereign debt crisis and the banking sector. The role of new institutions such as the EFSF. • Does the Basle III framework adequately address bank holdings of sovereign debt?
