Sir John Vickers Discusses the Vickers Report at NYU Stern
—
On September 22, Sir John Vickers spoke to an audience of Stern students and alumni about the Vickers Report, the proposed financial regulation set forth by the UK’s Independent Commission on Banking.

It is arguable that these reforms go further than any other banking legislation, including Dodd-Frank in the United States.
